Man opens plane's door to get air

Many joke that passengers need to open plane windows if they want fresh air during the flight.

Now the joke has become partly true. A passenger in Hangzhou opened the emergency exit door on Sunday when the plane was waiting for take off and his action surprised the flight attendants, reported Nandu.com. When he was asked why he had opened the door, he claimed he wanted to open the window to get some air.

The stunned attendants closed the door right away and transferred the man to the other seat, far away from the emergency exit.
