On camera, Korean Air passenger attempts to open emergency exit door mid-flight

A shocking video shared on X depicts a disturbing incident aboard a Korean Air flight: a passenger’s desperate attempt to open an emergency exit door mid-flight. The footage captures the raw fear and tension as the man struggles against the efforts of several flight attendants who bravely intervene to subdue him.

His actions caused immediate alarm among fellow passengers, many of whom likely feared for their lives as the man’s erratic behaviour threatened the safety of everyone on board. The video vividly portrays the chaotic scene: flight attendants rushing to the man, grappling with him, and finally managing to restrain him, preventing what could have been a catastrophic outcome. Their quick thinking and decisive action undoubtedly prevented a potential tragedy.

This incident underscores a concerning trend. It wasn’t an isolated event; on November 8th, another unruly passenger on a Korean Air flight from Bangkok to Seoul attempted a similar act, reaching for an emergency exit door approximately an hour into the five-and-a-half-hour journey. While details surrounding the Bangkok incident remain somewhat scant, it shared the chilling similarity of a passenger ignoring safety protocols and jeopardizing the safety of all on board.

The November incident involved a male passenger seated in a crew-only jumpseat, adding a layer of complexity to the situation. Reports indicate that he exhibited non-compliant behaviour, including verbal aggression and threatening gestures, before being restrained by the crew.

Both incidents highlight the crucial role of well-trained flight attendants in maintaining air safety. Their swift and decisive responses, in both the recently filmed incident and the November event, underscore the importance of comprehensive safety training and protocols for handling unruly passengers. Korean Air has confirmed both incidents, emphasizing the successful implementation of its safety procedures and reassuring the public that no one was harmed in either situation.

The airline reiterated its commitment to prioritizing passenger safety and maintaining strict adherence to all in-flight regulations. However, these incidents raise serious questions about passenger behaviour, potentially highlighting the need for improved screening procedures or strategies for identifying and managing potentially disruptive passengers before flights depart. The videos circulating online serve as stark reminders of the vulnerabilities inherent in air travel and the vital importance of both passenger responsibility and the professionalism of airline staff.

Ben Sears celebrates five-wicket haul against Pakistan in second ODI

New Zealand registered a convincing 84-run victory over Pakistan in the second ODI in Hamilton on Wednesday, sealing the three-match series 2-0. With the final match set to take place in Mount Maunganui on Saturday, the Kiwis will now aim for a clean sweep.

Pacer Ben Sears was the standout performer, claiming a remarkable five-wicket haul (5/59) in just his third ODI. After going wicketless in his previous two appearances, Sears turned the tide with his fierce bowling, dismantling Pakistan’s middle and lower order.

Chasing 293, Pakistan’s innings fell apart early. Will O’Rourke removed Abdullah Shafique for 1, followed by Jacob Duffy dismissing Babar Azam (1) and Imam-ul-Haq, leaving Pakistan at 9/3 within six overs. Salman Agha (9) also failed to settle, and captain Mohammad Rizwan struggled before departing for 5 off 27 balls.

Tayyab Tahir (13), Mohammad Wasim (1), and Akif Javed were unable to revive the innings. A late 60-run partnership between Faheem Ashraf (73 off 80) and Naseem Shah (51 off 44) offered brief resistance, but the damage had already been done. Pakistan were eventually bowled out, with Duffy finishing with figures of 3/35. O’Rourke and Nathan Smith took one wicket each.

Earlier, New Zealand posted a total of 292/8 after being sent in to bat. Openers Rhys Mariu (18) and Nick Kelly (31) got off to a brisk start. Despite a middle-order wobble that saw the side slump to 132/5, a 77-run stand between Muhammad Abbas (41) and Mitchell Hay stabilized the innings.

Hay played a crucial innings, narrowly missing out on a century with an unbeaten 99 off 78 deliveries, including seven fours and seven sixes. His knock proved vital in pushing New Zealand past the 290-mark and earned him the Player of the Match award.

For Pakistan, Sufiyan Muqeem (2/33) and Mohammad Wasim (2/78) were the notable performers with the ball.

Having already secured the series, New Zealand now have the chance to sweep Pakistan 3-0 in the final ODI this weekend.

Virat Kohli nears 13,000 T20 runs as RCB face Gujarat Titans in Bangalore

RCB return to Bengaluru aiming for a third straight win in IPL 2025, with Virat Kohli just 24 runs away from reaching the 13,000-run mark in T20s.

Published

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are all set to clash with Gujarat Titans (GT) in a high-octane IPL 2025 encounter at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. With two back-to-back wins under their belt, RCB will be aiming to extend their winning streak to three and continue their dominant run in the tournament.

This match also marks RCB’s homecoming as they play their first match of the season in front of their home crowd. The excitement is high, not just for the team’s form, but also for the potential milestone that could be achieved by star batter Virat Kohli.

Kohli on cusp of a major T20 landmark

All eyes will be on Virat Kohli, who is just 24 runs away from becoming the first Indian cricketer to score 13,000 runs in T20 cricket. The veteran batter will join an elite club currently led by Chris Gayle, who has 14,562 runs from 463 T20 games.

GT pace threat and spin firepower

Gujarat Titans come into this contest with a potent bowling attack. Former RCB pacer Mohammed Siraj, now in GT colours alongside Kagiso Rabada, will be aiming to strike early and dent the Bengaluru top order.

GT’s spin unit, featuring Rashid Khan and R Sai Kishore, is expected to play a critical role against the likes of Rajat Patidar, Phil Salt, Devdutt Padikkal, and Kohli — all of whom are capable players of spin.

Bengaluru challenge for bowlers

RCB’s bowling attack, featuring experienced names like Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, will be under pressure to perform on a ground known for its short boundaries and quick outfield. Despite the conditions, RCB will be banking on their bowlers to restrict GT’s scoring opportunities and maintain their unbeaten run.

RCB’s victories against Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings have showcased their strength in both departments. However, the Titans — fresh off a 36-run win over Mumbai Indians — pose a different challenge.

The stage is set for an intense contest, with RCB aiming to celebrate their return to Bengaluru in style and Gujarat Titans looking to build on their momentum.
