Smoker tried to open plane door

The woman was arrested when the plane landed in Australia
A French woman has admitted attempting to open an aeroplane door mid-flight so that she could smoke a cigarette.
Sandrine Helene Sellies, 34, who has a fear of flying, had drunk alcohol and taken sleeping tablets ahead of the flight from Hong Kong to Brisbane.

She was seen on the Cathay Pacific plane walking towards a door with an unlit cigarette and a lighter.

She then began tampering with the emergency exit until she was stopped by a flight attendant.

Defence lawyer Helen Shilton said her client had no memory of what had happened on the flight on Saturday, and that she had a history of sleepwalking.

She pleaded guilty to endangering the safety of an aircraft at Brisbane Magistrates Court and was given a 12-month A$1,000 (£429) good behaviour bond - she will forfeit the money if she commits another offence.

The French tourist was at the start of a three-week holiday in Australia with her husband.

my lawyer said the same thing after walked into my school with a mac10 and shot a shit load of people i had marked down on my list of people i want to kill

fuckin hell, dumb bitch is lucky she aint dead...needs to be locked up

Now THAT's what I call a nicotine addict.

I might be wrong, but I don't think that it's possible to open the emergency door while the cabin is pressurized. Still though, she gets a for trying.

See, this is what happens when smokers are forced to go outside all the time. Opening a door to light up just becomes habitual when you're going to have a cigarette. Too bad she was too fucked up already to realize that it was a plane, not a bar.

its impossible to open the emergency door on a jet liner when airborne. the speed and pressure difference has a very large force holding it shut if it was ever unlocked..
