A
woman opened the emergency exit door and jumped out of a plane as it
was taxiing down a runway in Houston, startling passengers on board.
The
United Airlines flight had just landed in Houston from New Orleans and
was headed toward its gate at the George Bush Intercontinental Airport
when the incident happened Monday afternoon, said airline spokeswoman
Maddie King.
"I realized when the
door popped open and a woman stepped out of it," passenger Hampton
Friedman told CNN. He was sitting across the aisle and posted a short
video of the open door.
The woman, who was not identified, was treated for non-life threatening injuries. She was not charged.
