It all happened on January 8, when 319 passengers were boarding the plane for a flight to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. During the boarding process, the passenger entered “normally”, but did not go to his seat after boarding. He then opened a cabin door on the opposite side of the plane, Newsweek reported.
