Angry travelers open plane's emergency exits

Upset by a delayed flight, at least two Chinese passengers decided to open emergency exit doors in protest as the plane was taxiing, forcing it to abort takeoff and landing them in jail, police said on Sunday.

The latest in a growing number of air rage cases involving Chinese travelers happened in the early hours of Saturday morning in Chengdu, Sichuan province, after the China Eastern flight was delayed by a snowstorm.

Angry passengers complained about the delay and lack of ventilation, and a man surnamed Zhou opened three emergency exits to prevent the plane from taking off, forcing it to return to the gate, according to China Central Television.
