Emergency evacuation: Indian flyer mistakes exit door for loo
2018-09-26
MUMBAI (AFP) - An Indian passenger sparked panic in mid-air when he tried to open a plane door, apparently mistaking it for the toilet, the airline and reports said.

The man was travelling on a GoAir flight from New Delhi to Patna on Saturday when he attempted to open the aircraft's rear exit, the carrier said.

"A co-passenger raised the alarm and he was intercepted by the crew," GoAir said in a statement emailed to AFP on Tuesday.

Indian media reports said he was a first time flier in his late 20s.

When fellow passengers asked him what he was doing he told them he "needed to use the washroom urgently and kept tugging at the exit door", The Telegraph, a Kolkata-based newspaper, quoted an airport official as saying.

#3  Please, Zenobia, leave your brain to science. The cross-wiring would be fascinating to dissect....

#2  The Legend of GoAir 222

To Patna he flew from New Delhi,
But something had hijacked his belly:
They sent out a scooper
For poor B.D. Pooper,
And some say that plane is still smelly.
