Nov. 27 (UPI) -- A man who appeared disoriented opened an emergency exit door on a stationary aircraft at New Orleans' Louis Armstrong International Airport and jumped to the ground, authorities said Monday.
The Southwest Airlines flight had not yet left the departure gate on Sunday evening when the 38-year-old man opened the emergency door, climbed onto the wing of the aircraft and jumped to the ground, the Jefferson Parish (La.) Sheriff's Office said in a statement.
