I am really shocked by this news. The person who is trying to commit suicide is really very sick. Thanks to the airline team to save that person.

Opening a door on a pressurized airliner in flight as a method of suicide is going to work about as well as attempting to lift the airplane off the ground by hand and drop it on his own head.

Here's hoping they indict and convict the guy on attempted murder & terrorism charges then throw behind bars for the rest of his life. Or just grant him his wish and execute him.

I'll have sympathy for the person who tried to take their own life without harming other people in the process. Anyone else can rot.
