German tourist booted off plane for opening door
A German tourist created a scary scene for passengers after he opened the emergency exit door of a Jet Airways plane.
The man, identified by local media as Steve Titschler, opened the door moments after the plane had landed in India.
His reason given to the flight attendants was he opened the door "just for fun".
Understandably flight crew were not amused, and the man was handed over to police at Mumbai's International Airport.
He was taken to a local police station and barred from catching his connecting flight. He may still face charges for his actions.
In another incident - reported on the same day - a Jet Airways passenger was accused of smoking a cigarette in the toilet during a flight.
According to The Daily Mail, the man was intoxicated and was taken into custody when the plane landed in Mumbai.
