Turns out it was because she tried to open the door mid flight while drunk.

Was kinda oblivious to the initial incident until i saw everyone rubbernecking as she was forced into her seat. Only found out the details when my colleague asked if i was on that flight.

It's got to be hard for a punter to open the cabin door, right? Like, i don't think i had a particularly near miss did i?
