Passengers look on as wind gushes into the cabin of an Asiana Airlines Airbus A321, May 26, 2023, after a man opened an emergency exit door just minutes before it landed safely in Daegu, South Korea.Among those shaken up by the incident were 48 teenage athletes heading to a national track and field meet for under-15s that kicks off Saturday in Daegu. Ten of the children were from a judo team.
A passenger from a Asiana Airlines flight that landed in Daegu, South Korea, on May 26, 2023, with an emergency exit door open is brought by emergency services to a local hospital in Daegu for evaluation and treatment.
