Attempt to open the hatch in flight
According to passengers, hostesses and stewards, the 33-year-old is originally from Massachusetts Francisco Severo Torres managed to “defuse” at least one of the safety systems of one of the twin reactor’s emergency doors before the crew and travelers themselves managed to stop it.
Torres insanely tried to open the hatch about 45 minutes after arriving at the airport, that is, when the vehicle had already started the final stage of the journey and was preparing to land. The tailgate handle had been moved about a quarter toward the release.
The flight attendant was injured
The US media said the passenger was not caught in the act. However, both the hostesses and the passengers had no doubt that he was the protagonist of the senseless and extremely dangerous act.
Being harassed by the crew, Torres lost his temper and threw himself on a flight attendant, injuring his neck.

After returning the handle to the correct position and making sure the passenger could no longer harm him, the captain ended the flight.
In a second moment, when the vehicle had already landed, it turned out that Torres had asked another passenger how the safety handles worked.
Torres risks several years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
