Man hastily opens plane door and jumps onto the tarmac below.
On Sunday evening, a shocking incident occurred at Louisiana’s Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport. A man onboard a Southwest Airlines flight opened the emergency exit, climbed onto the wing and started running across the tarmac.

Footage of the event shows the passengers evacuating the plane before the man is seen being pinned to the ground. NBC News reported that he was taken to the hospital for evaluation and is not facing any criminal charges, as it is believed he may have been having a mental health emergency.

The airline expressed regret for the passengers' inconvenience and commended their flight and ground crews for their swift action. The plane was delayed for a while before departing to Atlanta and then to its final destination of Baltimore.

The TikTok creator who shared the video online, @zedweb08, said it was a “very traumatic event”. In the footage, he can be heard saying “I never dreamed I would be going through something like this”. He then addressed the camera, saying “That scared the s*** out of me”.

This unexpected and potentially dangerous incident serves as a reminder of how serious mental health issues can be and the need for awareness and understanding of them.
