'I was uncomfortable' says passenger who opened airliner door at 700ft causing panic

A man who opened the door of a plane while it was 700 feet above the ground has said he did it because he was feeling "uncomfortable".

The passenger, in his 30s, left others on the Asiana Airlines plane terrified when he opened the door as the aircraft was coming in to land in Daegu, South Korea, on Friday afternoon.

The man, who was sitting in the emergency seat, yanked the door open just two to three minutes before landing in the city 150 miles south of Seoul.
