Interesting tidbit from the same article:
Earlier this week, passenger Dong She was jailed for ten days after opening an airplane door.
Mr She, 42, had claimed he had been holding the handrail tight when it unexpectedly moved, opening the door on the Urumqi Airlines flight from Xinjiang to Henan in China just as it was about to start off down the runway.
If it was about to start off down the runway surely Mr She should have been seated, with his seat belt securely fastened!
