First-time flyer tries to open plane door to spit A man in China flying for the first time in his life tried to open the plane's door because he wanted to spit. He made his move just after the China Southern Airlines plane took off from Shenzhen. Members of the flight crew found him trying to open the emergency door. He'd already managed to open an inner cover plate and a passenger was trying to restrain him. The Straits Times says he told the crew he wanted to spit. He was arrested when the plane landed in Shanghai. A stewardess says she explained the safety procedures to him individually before take-off.
