LOS ANGELES — A Delta Air Lines passenger was detained at Los Angeles International Airport after he allegedly opened an emergency exit door and slid down the emergency slide as the airplane prepared to take off for Seattle on Saturday morning, a passenger told the Los Angeles Times.
The incident happened after 10 a.m. when flight attendants had made their safety presentation to passengers and the plane pushed off the gate, according to Gillian Sheldon, who was on Delta Flight 1714 and witnessed the incident.
"There was no time for anybody to react," said Sheldon, who's from Tarzana and works in public relations. "It happened so incredibly quickly."
