Aeromexico Traveler Opens Airplane Exit and Takes a Stroll on the Wing

In Mexico, a man has been arrested for opening the emergency door of an airplane and stepping onto the wing. The incident occurred when the plane, bound for Guatemala City, remained stuck on the tarmac for several hours without air conditioning or water for the passengers. Mexico International Airport confirmed that no harm was done, but handed the passenger over to the police. However, fellow passengers have come forward to express their support for the man in a joint statement, stating that he had acted in the best interest of everyone. The incident took place around three hours after the scheduled departure time of the Aeromexico flight, which had been delayed due to a maintenance issue. The airline's incident report explained that a change of plane was necessary following the passenger's actions. It is unclear whether the man is still in custody or what charges he may face. The passengers who wrote the note in support of the man believe that he saved their lives, as the delay and lack of air created perilous conditions for their health. The handwritten note, along with the signatures and names of the supporters, was shared on social media.
