US teen jumps out of plane emergency door, slides down wing on Copa Airlines flight
A teenage passenger was taken for a medical evaluation after he opened an emergency door on an airplane when it landed in San Francisco then slid down the wing to the tarmac, an official said Wednesday. The teen was not injured during the Tuesday incident that occurred at San Francisco International minutes after Copa Airlines Flight 208 arrived from Panama City, an airport spokesperson said. The teen — a US citizen — was travelling alone and appeared to be in emotional distress during the flight. After jumping from the plane, he was held by an airfield construction crew until police arrived and arrested him. Witnesses said the teen seemed fidgety and anxious throughout the 7-hour flight. He was already on the ground and running by the time passengers realised the door had been opened. <br/>
