The plane was at an altitude of about 4,000 feet at the time.<br />She failed but "did manage to turn the handle far enough that a warning light went on in the cockpit," Seattle-Tacoma International Airport spokesman Bob Parker told KING-TV.<br />A flight attendant persuaded the woman to sit back down, but nobody physically restrained her. Parker said the other passengers stayed belted in their seats in case she did manage to open the door.<br />The woman was arrested for investigation of malicious mischief when the plane landed. Police were investigating whether alcohol and prescription medication were involved.<br />A United spokesman did not immediately return a call for comment late Wednesday.<br /><br /><br />.........Come to to think of it, I've always wanted to try that. I wonder how cool it must be to open the door 20 thousand feet in the air and watch shit (and people) fly around everywhere due to the decompression. Sounds like fun. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:bigup_yoself:5430 2005-07-20T22:42:21Z 2005-07-20T22:42:21Z Interesting little tidbit: You can make napalm by mixing styrofoam with petrol until it turn turns into a gel like substance. So the next time you feel like torching a nearby Starbucks, be sure to use the cups you bought from them at $5 a pop.
