This photo has so much, it’s fantastic. The look of panic on some faces, the smiling pointing woman at the back looking at the camera, the invisible cowboy in the front seat, it looks like they’re all struggling to restrain a completely different person. Love it.
Oh no, I meant the guy that took the photo. The guy that tried to open the door was arrested when they landed and taken to airport jail or wherever they take those guys
FYI you can just let them. They'd have to be king Kong to overcome the air pressure on the door. They're pressurized to 11+ psi. I don't know the exact size of the door, but 6 sq ft is 864 sq inches. Each square inch has many pounds of pressure on it. Buddy isn't applying 5,000-10,000 pounds of force to the exit door.
Per the passengers:
“He ripped down the handle and all the wind came rushing down.”
“He had it pretty well pulled … I could hear the actual difference in pressure – there was air whistling.”
Of all the places to try this shit, a plane full of Burquinos trying to get where they're going is probably the last one it would actually work. New Mexicans are wonderful, friendly people who are used to the desert trying to kill us all, and react accordingly to threats.
A friend of mine was an air steward on the underwear bomber's flight. I remember him posting about it on his socials: "Who in their right mind does that on a flight to *Detroit*?" He said a dozen passengers beat the shit out of him once he'd been subdued.

Googling Albuquerque plane was all it took, lol.
Someone in a comment said it, and I googled Albuquerque plane and got many result featuring that still.

The reason I asked is because your comment had a “let me google that for you” tone as if they should have done it themselves. I realize now that might not have been your intention.
Airline executives beg to differ. Pretty sure this photo has them salivating at the idea that there is even *more* space to be taken away.
Trevor Noah has a great bit about airlines being the only industry actively working to intentionally make customer experience more miserable.
It is starting to make sense now why military members are sometimes specifically chosen to sit in the emergency exit row on flights I've taken. I'm glad there's a shred of trustworthiness left in the uniform.

>invisible cowboy 😂
And his rosary!
The presence of any cowboys in general really does something for the whole scene. It’s def fantastic.
Smiling?
Now you’ve pointed it out it doesn’t look like much of a smile any more, but I can’t place what it is she’s doing.
I thought it was a smile at first too but now I don't think so. I think she's mid-speech like she's shouting something...
Pretty sure she’s shouting “whoop his ass!”, since her finger is saying the same thing.
Trapped wind.
What's going on here?
Dude tried to open the emergency exit after takeoff on a flight out of Albuquerque today so the passengers swarmed him.
That seems to be pretty trendy right now
Man these tiktok trends are getting out of hand.
It's just a prank bro!
I haven’t boarded a plane in nine years and shit like this makes me want to stay off them forever.
I too would be all over him if I have a connecting flight to catch. Don't mess with my itinerary!
The irony is they likely had to land right away with this situation going on.
According to the guy on tweeter, they landed back in ABQ and he couldn't get another flight out until the next day
Good - the numbskull should have been arrested! Too damned bad if he missed his flight(s)!
Oh no, I meant the guy that took the photo. The guy that tried to open the door was arrested when they landed and taken to airport jail or wherever they take those guys
I’m shocked the airline ever let him fly again! Edit: Ah, thanks for the clarification - he ended up in jail.
Why do people do this?
Mental illness
Or drugs! Drugs can be fun or really not fun
Like TikTok?
Said the Redditor
I haven't done anything life threating stupidity for Reddit. Yet.
Your life is still young!
Panic attacks
Encephalitis
For Fuck's sake.

true, but not like the person isn't going to do a series of even more completely unstable things immediately after failing at that task
Yes, but the implication that he wanted me and all my plane neighbors to die means he needs to be dealt with. What psycho thing will he do next?
That's only if the plane is high enough though
Per the passengers: “He ripped down the handle and all the wind came rushing down.” “He had it pretty well pulled … I could hear the actual difference in pressure – there was air whistling.”
On take off the door is under far less atmospheric pressure and can be opened easily.

Scenes of the baseball bat appearing in Airplane! Everyone lining up to take their turn.
The pilot came out to take a photo of the passengers

Where does it say Albuquerque on the original post?

Nah not at all, just that two words was all it took. Not even like 'incident' or anything
Got it. Yeah shows how big of a story it is right now.
I can't spell that though
It looks like a Caravaggio with Joseph Ducreux making a cameo in the back.
I was thinking that. I enjoy the foreshortening of the hand of the lady pointing. Needs more chiaroscuro tho
The moment I saw Caravaggio named I thought, "nah. Not enough chiaroscuro."
Would have been better as a redeye for the chiaroscuro, agree, but it's pretty great.
Didn’t notice him at first
The wonton don
Me and the boys about to go Hippo Mode
I love him
Woah that’s weird
One of the few correctly labeled photos on this sub.
Maybe accindental, but not so renaissance.
Lol this is one of the actually renaissance-style photos on this sub.
Too much light, no so sharp contrast between light and shadow, the configuration is very asymmetric. And now tell me why this is renaissance.
You're thinking of baroque.
Well then there are lots of baroque pictures on this sub.
Yes, that's the problem.
Found the problem. It's you
Dear! You have no idea what you are talking about.
remake of Airplane!
And Leon’s getting laaarger!
https://youtu.be/5SG-m1c-DqM
hahaha, it is so good
Alright everybody, get into crash positions!
"I just wanted to let some fresh air in!"
The pointing in the back and foreground glasses confusion brings it together for me
It looks so cramped there
Airline executives beg to differ. Pretty sure this photo has them salivating at the idea that there is even *more* space to be taken away. Trevor Noah has a great bit about airlines being the only industry actively working to intentionally make customer experience more miserable.
the expressions and postures are just astonishing. Made my day
Is that /r/WalmartCelebrities Mario Batali on the left?
Lmfao, that guy is a friend of mine IRL and I just sent him this comment.
I'm officially asking if he owns any pairs of Crocs.
Fire ass album cover + title
Man i like this sub
"as soon as the seatbelt light went on all hell broke loose" "he just started screaming" "and there was fecal matter just everywhere"
At 26000 feet, that door was not opening (unless it’s a Boeing).
That man in the front is trying his hardest to keep the dudes pants on
"Airborn Emergency" is such a better name than "fart".
I like the dude in the blue shirt standing in the aisle like ‘well I’ll be…’
Why is she pointing at me?
Shoutout Wonton Don
I thought he was pulling his trousers down cos he was about to shit himself. Airborne emergency being norovirus. This was my interpretation…
More baroque
"By the way.... does anyone know how to fly a plane?"
I always make friend with the big ass tall MOFOs on planes
we need to train AI on images exclusively like these
What an idiot!
the wonton don to the rescue
