A 26-year-old woman learned a harsh lesson while aboard a plane traveling from New York to South Korea on Thanksgiving Day.
Mid-flight, spanning 15 hours, she made an attempt to open the emergency door while the plane was above the Pacific Ocean.
Upon arrival in South Korea, she was arrested by the Incheon International Airport Police Corps, where subsequent drug screening revealed a positive result for methamphetamine.
Approximately 10 hours into the flight, passengers observed the woman becoming extremely anxious before her attempt to open the door.
