A man, a woman and their dog used the emergency slide to exit from a moving Delta Air Lines plane at LaGuardia Airport in Queens, New York. They were later arrested for their recklessness.
The two passengers opened a cabin door, activating the slide, and took off as the Delta flight was taxiing out of the runway at around 10:55 a.m on Monday, reported The New York Times.
A Delta passenger who slid out of a moving plane with his dog says ‘I have panic attacks’
As a Delta Air Lines plane taxied to the runway at LaGuardia Airport on Monday, a flight attendant saw a man and woman walking through the aisle.
“I need to get off the plane. I don’t want to sit here. I’m gonna pop the door,” the flight attendant paraphrased him as saying.
The man felt he needed to leave or he would lose control, according to statements from a Tuesday arraignment hearing. He then pushed past the crew member, opened a cabin door and slid down the emergency slide with another passenger and their dog.

The man who opened a plane s door before takeoff at LaGaurdia Airport and slid down the emergency slide along with a woman and a puppy had been acting very erratically in the moments leading up to his escape, according to the criminal complaint.
Antonio Murdock and Brianna Greco were passengers on Delta Flight 462 to Atlanta just after 10 a.m. Monday, when a flight attendant saw them walking around in the plane s cabin as it was taxiing, the criminal complaint read. She heard Murdock say that he needed to get off the plan, threatening to open the emergency door in order to do so, and that he was going to spazz out.
