Man in his 30s opened the emergency door of an Asiana Airlines plane in full. He said he felt "suffocated" and wanted to get out quickly, South Korean police said.

The plane, an Airbus A321-200, was carrying nearly 200 passengers when it arrived on the tarmac at Daegu International Airport, 240 km south of Seoul. Several passengers were taken to hospital after suffering breathing difficulties from the violent current that got into the cabin, but there were no serious injuries or damage.
