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.

| 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 :rolleyes: 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 ed 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.. |
