The unusual video shows a female flight attendant holding a plane’s escape hatch after a drunk passenger pulled it open out of curiosity.

Smartphone footage recorded on a flight bound for Harbin, in the northernmost province of Heilongjiang, showed the drunken traveller settled in his seat on 9th March.

The scene also depicts the female flight attendant holding the escape hatch with her hands after she stopped the passenger from opening it moments before the plane took off from Qingdao, in the eastern Shandong Province.

Shortly, a male cabin crew member can be seen joining the two. His female colleague said: “I told him not to move. He can’t open it.”

The male flight attendant then turned towards the traveller and asked: “Are you drunk?”

To that, the man answered: “Yes, I drank.”

Chinese media revealed that the traveller was promptly relocated to another seat, after which the aircraft resumed its journey.

It was not disclosed whether he would suffer legal consequences for his actions.

Then user ‘Janice’ commented: “The stewardess saved him, otherwise he would have lost hundreds of thousands.”

And ‘”Q”‘ added: “What happens if someone pulls the escape hatch mid-air?”
