💨 Abstract

An All Nippon Airways flight from Tokyo to Houston was diverted to Seattle after a passenger tried to open an emergency exit mid-flight. The passenger was restrained and taken to a hospital. The flight had been in the air for about 10 hours. No injuries were reported among the other passengers and crew. A second passenger was removed for misbehavior before the flight continued to Houston. The FAA has a zero-tolerance policy for unruly passengers, with thousands of incidents reported in recent years.
