Flight to Bush Diverted After Passenger Tries Opening Door Mid-Flight

A passenger on a flight from Japan to Houston tried to open an emergency exit door mid-flight, which led the crew to divert the plane to Seattle Saturday. The flight landed safely in Seattle.

Airport officials say passengers and flight crew restrained the individual until the plane could land.

Nippon Airways released the following statement:

"Nippon Airways flight NH114 departing Tokyo Haneda Airport for Houston Intercontinental Airport was diverted inflight to Seattle due to an unruly passenger. While on the tarmac in Seattle, a second passenger became unruly. Both were removed from the flight by the Port of Seattle Police. The flight to Houston continued without incident."
