16. The flight attendant tackled the passenger for opening the emergency door
The incident occurred on American Airlines 1774 flying from Dallas-Fort Worth to Charlotte last week. The aircraft is safely under control from take off to flying.
Problems arose mid-flight. Of the 190 passengers, there was one passenger who was surprised by the actions of other passengers. The passenger who got the surprise was Elizabeth LaClair.
LaClair heard that the woman was complaining and didn't want to fly anymore. Not just once, this woman kept complaining and getting more and more restless. The man sitting next to the woman tried to calm her down. The man called the flight attendant and both tried to calm the woman down.
Unfortunately, this method also did not work. Suddenly, the woman stood up and ran to the door. The woman, who was in her 30s, had a striking appearance with green hair.
The flight attendant who saw this immediately tackled the troublemaker woman. The woman fell down, the flight attendant quickly tied her wrists and legs with duct tape. Someone's tie is also a tool to stop the woman.

The actions of the three people were suspected to be disturbing and causing problems, but airport security did not mention in detail what problems the three drunken passengers had caused. The airport security said they were not involved in handling the incident. It was the airport police who intervened and secured the three troubled passengers.
