Feeling claustrophobic - just open the window!!

A buddhist monk in Myanmar did just that - only problem was he was in an aircraft ready for take off!! The pilot was one surprised guy to see the chute deploying as he was carrying out the pre flight checks. Luckily nobody nor any property was damaged and the flight left 7 hours latee.

This begs a serious question with respect to air safety. What stops a similar event from occurring when the flight is in motion? In the backdrop of terrorism it acquires a very dangerous connotation as one doesn't need to carry any weapons on board. The terrorist needs to just make sure he gets to sit next to the emergency exit rows and the rest they say is history!!

So next time just make sure that you are the one sitting in the exit row seat!! :-)
