Escape Raft Falls Out as Air India Passenger Opens the Door at Moscow Airport

airindia2Last week, the escape raft of an Air India Dreamliner fell out while it was preparing to take off at Moscow airport, Russia.

The plane was being pushed back for takeoff when a passenger opened a door, resulting in the raft falling onto the aerobridge. The passenger later told the airline officials, “I was about to take my seat when I heard a staffer knocking on the window asking to open the door. So I opened the door without realizing that I shouldn’t have opened it.” Another passenger said, “As the door opened, there was a sudden hissing sound, followed by a loud thud, and that was when the flight attendants noticed the passenger’s errant behaviour. It was too late to stop him.”

The incident could cause serious injuries to the on-ground crew and vehicles if the rift had not fallen on the aerobridge.
