A passenger was not in the mood and opened the plane’s emergency door, jumped onto the wing and then onto the runway, where he fled, while airport security personnel chased him and eventually stopped the man, who was then transported to a city. hospital for a medical evaluation, the NBC television station said.
So far, it is not known what caused this episode, which occurred this Sunday, and the federal court is investigating.
What is certain is that the plane resumed its route to the city of Atlanta despite the incident.
