Passenger tries to open plane’s door to smoke

A passenger tried to open the door of a plane flying at 38,000 feet during a Munich-Vancouver flight to smoke a cigarette.

According to a report in Emarat Al Youm, pilot diverted the flight to Hamburg an hour after the takeoff due to the incident.

The plane took off from Munich, Germany, and was bound for Vancouver, Canada, but it had to change its course and landed in Hamburg, Germany, after passenger created panic inside the plane.

According to a statement by German carrier Lufthansa, the passenger was suffering from mental disorders.

Another passenger said the man was acting strangely but the crew decided to continue the flight.

Airport police arrested the reckless passenger when the plane landed and sent him to a psychiatrist, who revealed that the passenger was disturbed mentally and psychologically.

The plane, later, took off from Hamburg Airport and reached Vancouver two hours after the scheduled time.
