The recent incident involved flight attendants who struggled to hold a woman who attempted to open the aircraft door mid-flight and claimed “Jesus instructed her” to do so.
On a Southwest Airlines flight headed for Ohio, a passenger started troubling her fellow passengers as well as the flight attendants to let her open the door of the aircraft at 37,000 feet. The 34-year-old woman, identified as Elom Agbegninou, pushed past the flight attendant who had attempted to stop her from opening the side door. She was even stopped by another passenger who kept her from using the emergency exit. she responded by biting that person’s thigh and refused to let go until the victim forced their fingers into her jaw.
When the pilots decided to make an emergency landing at Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport in Little Rock at around 3:30 PM, turning a three-hour flight into a six-hour flight, the situation appeared to out of control. She was handed over to the federal agents after being landed.
Later, the US District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas issued documents that repeated Agbegninou’s words. “Jesus commanded her to fly to Ohio, and Jesus told her to open the plane door,” it said.
When Southwest Flight 192 was flying from Houston, Texas, to Columbus, Ohio, the strange incident happened. Agbegninou got up from her seat and started to make her way to the aircraft’s back door. The flight attendants told her to use the washroom or return to her seat after she had started the exit door for about ten minutes. She started making a scene since she wasn’t going to listen to them, which eventually resulted her being arrested by the authorities.
