Qantas flyer faces jail for trying to open door at 39,000 ft
A passenger flying with Qantas Airways is facing a 10-year jail term for allegedly attempting to open the emergency exit of a flight when it was cruising at 39,000 feet. American citizen Manuel Gonzalez was intercepted by cabin crew when he suddenly attempted to do so. Opening plane doors at high altitudes is impossible due to cabin pressure, experts claim.
