Police: Woman tries to open door during flight

SEATTLE, Washington (AP) -- A woman was arrested Wednesday for attempting to
open an airplane exit door while the plane was still in the air, police
said.

The 52-year-old woman from Dania Beach, Florida, left her seat and tried to
open the door as the United Airlines flight was descending into Seattle to
land, police said. The plane was at an altitude of about 4,000 feet at the
time.

She failed but "did manage to turn the handle far enough that a warning
light went on in the cockpit," Seattle-Tacoma International Airport
spokesman Bob Parker told KING-TV.

A flight attendant persuaded the woman to sit back down, but nobody
physically restrained her. Parker said the other passengers stayed belted in
their seats in case she did manage to open the door.

The woman was arrested for investigation of malicious mischief when the
plane landed. Police were investigating whether alcohol and prescription
medication were involved.

A United spokesman did not immediately return a call for comment late
Wednesday.

Whew for a moment I thought you were out of copy and paste
not only you've come back, but even better with a topic which has nothing to
do with Europe...your usual self !
....self centered and centered on your country

The carrier is based there, and it's safety may impinge on
other destinations. Seems logical to me. I had no problems
accepting a Qantas problem in Bangkok as a subject on
rec.travel.australia+nz a while back.

None in Paris, there are several "California" Hotels, however.

According to the lyrics of the song of the same name (The Eagles)

But you can never leave"

Not exactly true since we left.
