Korea HeraldAPR 2023
This unprecedented incident raises serious questions surrounding flight safety measures. Authorities must investigate how the passenger could open the emergency exit door mid-flight, and the Airlines must ensure emergency exit doors are only capable of opening, whether at low altitudes or not, in life-threatening events.
Before passengers around the world begin to fear flying due to rare stories like this, it must be noted that the Airbus A321 plane is part of a list of aircraft with completely clean safety records. Most airlines use almost entirely Airbus and Boeing airplanes, as they have an impeccable track record of keeping their passengers comfortable and safe while traveling.
