A flight attendant smashed wine bottles on a man who tried to open the exit midair, FBI sa

Armed with fists and an unexplained determination, a man attacked Delta Air Lines crew and passengers Thursday as he tried to pry open an exit door midair, according to the FBI.
Joseph Hudek IV was eventually subdued by multiple people on the Seattle-to-Beijing flight — in a melee where bottles of wine became weapons.
He and more than 200 other people were on board when the plane took off about 5 p.m. from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Nothing about his background, as described in an FBI affidavit, seemed extraordinary: He was 23, flying on a dependent pass, which an airline spokesman told the Seattle Times are sometimes issued to relatives of Delta employees.
Hudek had ordered a single beer before takeoff, and appeared sober, according to the FBI.
The Boeing 767 had been flying about an hour — crossing over Vancouver Island — when Hudek rose from his first-class seat and walked into the bathroom.
He was inside about two minutes, according to the affidavit. Then he “lunged toward the forward right exit door of the aircraft, grabbed the handle” and tried to pull it open.
Two flight attendants immediately tried to stop Hudek, wrote an FBI agent who later interviewed people on the plane. They called for help when he pushed them away and kept trying to force the lever that held the door in place, the agent wrote.

I'm fairly certain you can't open the door of a plane that's in midair and pressurized. Still freaky though.

Futile effort, but I hope they beat the frick out of that bitch.

United version of this would read "United Airlines physically abuses mentally ill man."

Actually I think it was a man. A steward.
This nut must've gone in the toilet and smoked some K2 or something.

Correct. The door opens inward.
The cabin is equal to surface air pressure (14.7 psi). The air pressure at 30000 feet is 4.3 psi. The door is more than 7 feet x 4 feet.
84 inches * 48 inches * 10 psi differential means you need to exert over 20 tons of pressure to overcome the force of the cabin air and open the door. So Hulk no smash.

I hope it was an empty wine bottle.
Hate to waste decent wine.

Quit with all that math and shite.

I still don't understand why the frick they have full bottles of wine anyway. The situation could always be reversed. I sit in first class and bottles are available... who is to say I couldn't break them and have homemade knives?
Look don't get me wrong I like full bottles of wine on the plane for my consumption purposes... but I have always been concerned it could be turned into a weapon by a passenger.

Yeah, the seals are armed and in place.
I'm not sure about the emergency exit doors though.

Your emergency exit doors are essentially plugs. They usually open to the inside.
Your main exit doors, which open to the outside, are also like plugs. They open to the outside, but they are designed to be treated like a plug after they are closed. Also, an inflatable seal can be used.
I'd still love to see somebody throw one open with the auto slide active.

I'm no badass or anything but if I was seated close by that incident seeing a guy trying to open the exit door, fighting with flight attendants, I'd probably step in and introduce myself with a haymaker. I don't wanna die
