[NYPOST] A passenger on an Asiana Airlines flight told police he opened a door on the plane minutes before it landed in Daegu, South Korea, on Friday because he was "uncomfortable," Yonhap News Agency reported."Uncomfortable! Can't breathe~ I need air... I'll open the door and step outside for a few minutes! That'll do it!"
The man, in his thirties, told police that he opened the door because he "wanted to get off the plane quickly", Yonhap said, citing the Daegu Dongbu Police Station.
"Almost did too. All those people tried to help me do it. If I hadn't hit the door jamb I'da been first off!"
He also told police he was stressed after losing his job recently.
"They fired me!"
"I can see why."
Rooters could not immediately reach police at the station.
[RING! RING!] "We're sorry. All our operators are busy with other calls. Your call is very important to us so please stay on the line until you can't take the bouncy 'on hold' music anymore."
The man opened the door when the plane was about 700 feet above the ground, causing panic onboard.
"Close the door, dammit!"
"Yeah! Yer lettin' the flies in!"
Nine passengers were sent to the hospital with breathing issues.
"I couldn't breathe! I think I got decompression! D'ya think I should sue?"
"You were only at seven hundred feet. I wouldn't push it."
All were dismissed from the hospital after about two hours, a fire department official said.
"Kim, throw him out!... Not you, Kim. Him, Kim!"
Police plan to arrest the detained man after investigations conclude, Yonhap said.
"This is Korea. Stupidity is a prosecutable offense. They used to cut yer head off for it."
"Ummm... What's the sentence now?"
"Ninety nine years."
