On Sunday afternoon, an Alaska Airlines flight from Milwaukee to Seattle became the unexpected stage for a passenger's abrupt decision to exit the aircraft via the emergency exit onto the wing.
Flight 323 had just touched down at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and was in the process of deplaning around 5 p.m. when a woman, reported by KPTV, became too impatient to wait her turn, prompting an unusual operation involving firefighters and a police crisis team.
The "anxious" passenger, as described by the Port of Seattle spokesperson Perry Cooper in a statement obtained by Fox News, opened the emergency exit over the wing and proceeded to climb out onto it. The act brought emergency responders to the scene, who safely guided the woman off the wing.
Following the incident, the police crisis team concluded the woman required hospitalization for a medical evaluation. An Alaska Airlines spokesperson confirmed the incident to Fox News, stating that "the matter was safely resolved."
