American Airlines flight diverted after passenger tried to open emergency exit door
A passenger tried to open the exit door on an airplane when there wasn't an emergency, and it didn't go over too well. An American Airlines flight from Chicago to Dallas/Fort Worth was diverted Tuesday to St. Louis after an unruly passenger attempted to open the emergency exit door mid-flight. He was unsuccessful in doing so. Flight 2300 left Chicago O'Hare International airport around 6:30 p.m. and made an emergency landing at St. Louis Lambert International less than an hour after takeoff. The passenger was removed from the plane and detained by airport police who contacted federal authorities to investigate, Jeff Lea, a St. Louis Lambert spokesperson said. Fellow passengers helped subdue the man to prevent him from opening the exit door. <br/>
