Passenger opened the emergency exit door during approach on Asiana Airlines A321

The A321 of Asian Airlines made a successful landing after the emergency exit door opened in midair. Even though the awful occurrence was caught on camera and posted to Twitter, the airline has not yet provided any information for the report.

Given that the majority of emergency and main doors on airplanes are locked, it is shocking to see how windows are being unlocked while the aircraft is in the air. As the plane prepared to land at Daegu International Airport at 12:45 p.m. on Friday at 11:49 a.m., the door of flight OZ8124 from Jeju International Airport abruptly opened, hitting the tarmac with the door open, according to sources.

Video taken from the Airbus A321 reveals passengers’ hair being ruffled by the gust of wind. None of the 194 passengers were hurt, but a few had breathing problems and had to be brought to the hospital after landing. Nobody passed out, though.

After a passenger opened the emergency exit door during approach, the Asiana Airlines A321 touched down without incident at Daegu Airport in South Korea. Nine people were sent to the hospital due to breathing problems.

When Ratan Tata was denied entry to the airfield at the Aero India show, he waited

During our visit to Aero India 2019, we had the unexpected opportunity to see Ratan Tata at the event, which was a thrilling moment for us. However, there was a surprising hiccup when the security staff didn’t allow him to enter due to a lack of a security pass.

Despite this, he remained calm and patiently waited for about 20 minutes until a member of the Tata team brought him the required pass, after which he calmly proceeded inside. It was a humbling sight, showcasing his composed demeanor even in such situations.

Ratan Tata ji is not only a renowned industrialist but also a trained pilot, holding a pilot’s license. In 2007, he became the first Indian civilian to fly the F-16 Falcon during the Aero India show in Bangalore—a proud moment for the nation.

His passion for aviation extended beyond flying, as he played a key role in shaping India’s aerospace industry. Under his leadership, Tata ventured into manufacturing and maintaining aerospace components while upholding its legacy of quality. Notably, Tata’s collaboration with Airbus to develop and manufacture the C295 aircraft is a testament to its growing influence in the sector.
