Drunk man said 'see you in heaven' before trying to open emergency exit on TUI flight

An 'intoxicated' man told passengers he would 'see them in heaven' before attempting to open the emergency exit midway through a flight, according to petrified TUI holidaymakers.

Passengers on the flight from Paphos to Manchester were left 'fearing for their lives' and the plane had to be diverted to Zagreb in Croatia because of the 'disruptive passenger', the Manchester Evening News reports. Some of those onboard the plane have claimed they saw the man openly taking a substance resembling cocaine.

He is said to have then made chilling threats towards other passengers and cabin staff before reaching for the emergency exit. The shocking moment was met with screams from other petrified passengers before the man was reportedly restrained by others on the plane.
