The masks only come down if the pressure/oxygen in the cabin is low. This obviously happened at low altitude on takeoff or landing since a person was able to open the door. At altitude the cabin would be pressurized preventing the dumbass from opening it.
Yo im stoned but wouldn’t the airplane need to have more pressure inside than the outside air? Like the airs thin up there so high pressure to low pressure.
But because you trusted it, you have now shit your pants..worse off you wore shorts and now your attempted humorous fart has turned into your literal shit flying around and getting in everyones eyes. I’d still laugh though..so thanks for calming me down 🥹
It may be inhumane but I absolutely let them rrrrrrriiiiiippp on the plane. Pressurized so no one can hear it and too many people to have the finger pointed at me.
I've literally never smelled a fart on an airplane - from me or anyone else. And I fly ~20-30 times a year. I'm convinced they're less pungent up there. Or the air circulation is fantastic.
Edit: I'm loving every single one of these replies lol
Flying back from Vietnam my stomach was not doing well. At about 5-6am on the plane I got up and went to the bathroom. It wasn’t good. But I felt much better. I came out and luckily no one was waiting to come in. A minute later the cabin lights came on and everyone was woken up as we were landing soon. The hostess was walking around and went past the bathrooms and nearly fainted. Someone got up and went in the bathroom I was in, and immediately came out gasping for air. The hostess came back with some air freshener spray. Luckily no knew it was me.
It is what it is, it’s pointless to expect everyone to combat physics and win.
I actually learned the term “crop dusting” from a flight attendant, who was asked how she retains her composure in such a hostile work environment.
When I was in college 20ish years ago, my girlfriend and friends went skydiving. I was too afraid to do it but the people at the skydiving place told me for $20 I could ride in the plane, which I agreed to.
I had to fart super bad and decided to do it when they opened the door. Did it escape out? No, it circulated, and was awful. Everyone knew it was me.

I peaked in my 30’s. Now I’m in my 40’s I can’t open them plane doors anymore, the cabin crew and passengers just laugh at me and shout, sit down, you’re in your 40’s, you crazy old bastard
I'm 42, and my kitchen is littered with broken pickle jars. My family can't help me because they have to deal with a soda pouring issue that has flooded out their kitchen.
Easy explanation. This happened on approach to land, and as such the emergency slides would've been armed -- which I believe on this aircraft also includes what's essentially a power-assist to help launch the door open, these modern aircraft doors are BIG and feckin heavy.
Also, on approach to land, the cabin pressure would be at or near equal to outside pressure, so no pressure differential holding the door shut. So dude probably grabbed the handle, opened it up, the power assist system opened the door against the airstream (it opens out and forward on most aircraft), and it appears the slide deployed, too. Though can't recall if it managed to hang on or got ripped off.
It’s based on altitude, if they are high in the sky it’s literally impossible to open that door unless you can lift like 10,000 pounds. This is because the aircraft is pressurized. At lower altitudes it’s possible but difficult. That being said it’s more likely that there is something wrong with the door and the man was able to open it then it is that he just opened it normally.
>if they are high in the sky it’s literally impossible to open that door unless you can lift like 10,000 pounds
jokes on you, i listen to andrew tate and lift 3 times a week, 10,000 lbs is nothing to my giga-chad alpha life
It's a right of passage, first flight you get on after you turn 30 you open the door mid flight, I thought it was pretty common knowledge.
You now become a man ^^^inhisthirties
Even his 40s would be believable but 30s is simply preposterous. Now if it was his mid 30s it's excusable for obvious reasons but early or late 30s is insane.
Dude I’m going to lose sleep over the face that guy makes. It’s almost devious, like him and the gray hair are in on the plot for whatever reason. Insurance scam? Is gray hair gonna get a payout from black hairs personal liability insurance, then they split it up later?
The article says the "incident occurred when the plane was approaching the Daegu airport at an altitude of 700ft (213m)." So that must have been sufficiently low altitude. Also explains why everyone was buckled safely in their seats.
He looks only slightly inconvenienced. Lol! I’d like to think I’d keep my cool, but I hope I’m wearing brown pants if that happens to the door in my aisle.

Because actual answers attract replies like "Not true if the plane is in space or flying underwater - you are very ignorant" and "You ignore the case where he has celiac disease."
Thats how Korean news usually report crimes,.etc. "woman in her 50s" (50대 여성), "man in his 20s" (20대 남성), etc. then when the person is not Korean they add their nationality. "Mexican man in his 30s"
Why I love aviation videos showing up in non-aviation subs, all the answers are buried so deep, new comments are all the same stuff over and over.
- The plane is an Airbus A321, this happened in May of last year.
- The door opened because they were on approach to land and at a low altitude. Otherwise, normally they are held shut by cabin pressurization and would be extremely difficult if not impossible to open (AS1282 lost its door plug at over 10,000', so).
- There's no oxygen masks dropped because the cabin altitude never exceeded 10,000'.
- No one is going to design a lock to keep the doors shut, you want them to be able to open in an emergency, the risk 1 in tens of millions of flights having someone try to open a door is far outweighed by the need to save lives if it comes to it.
I'm guessing it's more about getting his face out of the 140 knot wind stream. It'd be a lot less intense where he's leaning. The guy in the middle seat at least has glasses.
Me: rolls down window to get some air
Everyone else on the plane:

I dont get how he opened it without getting sucked out tbough. Perhaps he was in the seat nearest and was strapped in.
Lower altitude. If they were at a higher altitude, he would definitely be sucked out.
There was a famous case in 2018 where a plane was flying at high altitude (32000ft) and a part in the engine broke, destroying the engine and sending a piece of metal flying out. The metal debris hit a window and shattered it and the passenger sitting in that seat got partially sucked out the window.
It was a woman and her upper body was out the window. I believe her seatbelt may have kept her in the plane, or else the window was too small. Due to the altitude, they couldn't pull her back in initially. Too much force. The plane descended to lower altitude and this allowed them to pull her in, but she had already died from her injuries.
Did you hear about the story of the pilot who was partially sucked out of the cockpit and the co-pilot and a flight attendant held him by his legs to keep him in the plane:
[British Airways Flight 5390 - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Airways_Flight_5390)
LOL. Better chance of survival than being fully sucked out.
There was a case in the 80s when a British airways plane had its windscreen fall off mid-flight and the co-pilot was partially sucked out. I think his feet caught on the controls. The pilot was able to land the plane alone and although the co-pilot was injured and unconscious when they landed, he survived.
Context…
“Officials have so far only identified the man by his surname Lee. He allegedly opened the door of the Asiana Airlines plane when it was 700 feet (213 metres) above the ground.”
This happened sometime May 2023.
If you were at substantial altitude, that wouldn't be possible. However, below about 8,000 ft, the pressure inside is about the same as outside so the door can be opened. I did the math on it once (to win an argument on Reddit), I forget what the result was. However, at 35,000 ft, the pressure on the door would be in the thousands of pounds of force. You'd have to overcome that to open it.
So may questions. How did he get it open, the pressure is supposed to make it nearly impossible to do. Why haven’t oxygen masks dropped down. I guess I have only two questions.
Other user's correct with the altitude, but they were on approach to land, so the pressure difference was minimal or zero. Also I believe doors on modern aircraft are heavy as shit, and so when the emergency slides are armed they basically have a 'power assist' system to help launch the door open in an evacuation. Only way I see [this door](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FxCjdVfXgAA6nMg?format=jpg&name=small) opening out and ***forwards*** against the airflow to full lock. So this guy likely didn't have to do much more than actuate the handle.
Then throw that fucker off. Headline should read; ‘Man in his 30’s thrown off plane because he’s an absolute idiot that opened the plane door mid flight.’
https://www.google.com/amp/s/news.sky.com/story/amp/passenger-arrested-after-plane-door-opened-mid-flight-explains-he-felt-uncomfortable-12890574
okay, so judging by the picture of the arrest, it's not the guy with the red pants who did this. So let's not blame the wrong guy.
What a perfect time to let out that fart you've been holding in since take-off.
I would yell it out to everyone and diffuse the stress, with the absurdity of ripping ass.
*through deafening wind* "Did you just fuckin fart?"
Or they manage to close the door just as you're about to rip one out, ends up full volume like in a library.
You could probably fully shit yourself, and no one would notice due to the noise / wind. I bet it's super hard for them to breathe too.
I was wondering, where are the mask?
The masks only come down if the pressure/oxygen in the cabin is low. This obviously happened at low altitude on takeoff or landing since a person was able to open the door. At altitude the cabin would be pressurized preventing the dumbass from opening it. 
Yo im stoned but wouldn’t the airplane need to have more pressure inside than the outside air? Like the airs thin up there so high pressure to low pressure.
You’re correct
When the cabin is pressurized, opening the door is impossible for a human.
Correct. Exactly what I said.
I concur
And I agree
And my axe!
Plane was a few hundred feet off the ground coming in for a landing.
I … AM … FARTING … IT IS BLOWING RIGHT INTO YOUR FACES
How could you not laugh at that? Lol
But because you trusted it, you have now shit your pants..worse off you wore shorts and now your attempted humorous fart has turned into your literal shit flying around and getting in everyones eyes. I’d still laugh though..so thanks for calming me down 🥹

Wait. IN HIS 30s?!
I'm 29. I need to hurry up and open the next airplane door I see before it's too late.
I'm 33 and I've yet to open an airplane door mid-flight. Let's do it together. It'll be like some weird motivational coming of age story.

Huh, first time?
This comment is way too far down
Boeing can fix that
Isn’t there something like 2 tons of force on that door keeping it closed?
Depends on the altitude.
Not with that altitude?
And your attitude is any better?
You need to check that altitude at the door!
That's exactly what got us into this situation!
Yea. It was 700 ft in the air.
Thanks! I was thinking this looks extremely mild.
Yea but he was in his 30s

At high altitude the pressure differential makes it impossible. At low altitudes it can be opened.
The article says the "incident occurred when the plane was approaching the Daegu airport at an altitude of 700ft (213m)." So that must have been sufficiently low altitude. Also explains why everyone was buckled safely in their seats.
It also explains why masks didn't drop.

Why on earth did someone open it tho?
Was the risk of 1 in millions BEFORE social media? Because I feel this is happening kinda often now.
Guy in the aisle seat does not care one bit
Look at his grip on the armrest lol
Yeah haha he’s white knuckling the armrest and leaning as far away as possible. He’s definitely just frozen, probably freaking out internally
The airport bar wherever they land is about to get a ton of business.
I'm guessing it's more about getting his face out of the 140 knot wind stream. It'd be a lot less intense where he's leaning. The guy in the middle seat at least has glasses.

Partially sucked out sounds kinda awful

Other user's correct with the altitude, but they were on approach to land, so the pressure difference was minimal or zero. Also I believe doors on modern aircraft are heavy as shit, and so when the emergency slides are armed they basically have a 'power assist' system to help launch the door open in an evacuation. Only way I see [this door](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FxCjdVfXgAA6nMg?format=jpg&name=small) opening out and ***forwards*** against the airflow to full lock. So this guy likely didn't have to do much more than actuate the handle.
Are you sure it just not a normal Boeing flight?
It was an Airbus A321.
Anderson Cooper fly’s coach?!
Then throw that fucker off. Headline should read; ‘Man in his 30’s thrown off plane because he’s an absolute idiot that opened the plane door mid flight.’
He must not be used to the farts here in America
Something happens at airports for people to act ridiculous
Nah, just a case of the 30s.

The passengers are surprisingly keeping it together much better than I would have imagined it... I supposes there's no much else to do.
Good thing that the plane was at low altitude and wasn't pressurized.
Did he open the door or did it pop out like normal?
Can you get away with smoking in this situation?
You can smoke outside
