A man has been arrested at Mexico City airport after he opened the emergency door of the plane he was on. The man walked out over the wing. The plane had been stationary at the airport for hours, writes the BBC.
The man took the action because the plane had been stationary for more than three hours without air conditioning or water for the passengers. The action caused no damage, but he was arrested by the police.
His fellow passengers were happier with his action: they released a written statement stating that the man had the support of all his fellow passengers. The lack of fresh air was becoming unhealthy, according to the statement. “He saved our lives,” the passengers wrote, according to the newspaper BBC.
The plane of the Mexican airline Aeromexico was unable to take off due to a maintenance problem. After the escape, the passengers were asked to board another plane.
It is not clear whether the man is still being held or what possible punishment he will receive.
