united flight diverted after passenger tries to open emergency door because they "needed fresh air" and the internet has opinions
STOP THE PRESSES, I guess. AITA for thinking this is just another Thursday for United? Some dude on a flight from Newark to Denver decided the cabin pressure wasn't cutting it and attempted to yeet himself into the jet stream for a breath of "fresh air." For real. Flight gets diverted to Chicago, cops haul him off, and the plane sits on the tarmac for three hours because everyone else now needs a collective Xanax. TL;DR: No one got to see the Mile High City, just the Mile High Drama.
r/aviation is having a field day, with top comments calling him "the original airbnb host" for trying to let the *outside* in. Probably just wanted to save on the baggage fee by becoming the luggage himself. Honestly, I'm just mad I didn't book that flight for the content.
