Girl tried to open the emergency door mid-flight On flight LATAM 8073 from Milan to São Paulo tonight, a girl tried to open the emergency exit mid-flight. She had a mental breakdown and screamed a lot for a few minutes during or after the attempt (I’m not sure because I was a couple rows behind). Apparently, and I absolutely can’t confirm because it’s pure in-flight gossip, she was already not…
