London: In a bizarre incident, a drunk British passenger tried to open a plane’s door at 30,000 feet, forcing the flight to make emergency landing at an airport in France.
The 180-seat Airbus A320, easyJet flight was travelling from Marrakech, Morocco to Gatwick in London, on Monday when it was forced to divert to France, 650 miles away from its final destination and land in Bordeaux, after a drunk man allegedly tried to open the plane’s door at 30,000 ft causing panic on board, The Daily Mirror reported.
The man is reportedly believed to be in his 30’s. Witnesses say the man began downing spirits from duty free as soon as he boarded the flight.
