According to the report, a Japanese plane headed from Tokyo to Texas had to make an emergency landing after a passenger tried to open one of its doors during the flight. All Nippon Airways (ANA) Flight 114 was diverted to Seattle hours after taking off on Saturday "due to an unruly passenger", the airline said. Port of Seattle police told media they had been notified of a man who "attempted to open exit doors during the flight".

The police said that man, who was not identified, was "having a medical crisis" and had to be restrained by other passengers and flight crew. The man was later taken to a hospital. It is unclear if he will face any charges.

The report added that the authorities removed a second person for showing his unruly attitude , while the plane was waiting on the tarmac of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Flight data shows that the plane made it to its destination, George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, on Saturday around 12:40 local time (17:40 GMT) - four hours after its scheduled arrival time.

Even if he faces any charges, I don't think it would be something serious especially if the medical case he was going through at that moment was severe.

The culprit has mental illness . He should have not been allowed to go nearer the main door. Perhaps all passengers were asleep and the crew were far from the main door of the plane.
