The Asiana Airlines' Airbus A321 plane where a passenger opened a door on a flight shortly before the aircraft landed, at an airport in Daegu, South Korea, May 26, 2023.The Asiana Airlines Airbus A321 was reportedly about 800 feet above the ground when the passenger opened the door.A man who opened a door on Asiana Airlines' Airbus A321 plane shortly before the aircraft landed, is brought to a police staton in Daegu, South Korea, May 26, 2023.
However, as the plane gets lower, experts say it is possible for a door to open as the pressure outside equalizes with the pressure inside the plane. An Asiana Airlines plane after one of plane's doors was opened, sits parked at Daegu International Airport in Daegu, South Korea, May 26, 2023."At cruising altitude there is enough pressure inside the cabin that it pushes the door against the hull of the airplane but, as the airplane descends, then the pressure begins to equalize.
"The fact that this happened in very low altitude just prior to touch down means that everybody should have been belted in. Nobody was going to get sucked out of the airplane but the person who opened the door certainly was in danger of falling out," he said.South Korean transportation officials say they are investigating exactly how the door opened.The domestic flight was traveling to Daegu from the resort island of Jeju.
