A man in South Korea who opened a plane door mid-air causing panic onboard as wind rushed through the cabin, has been arrested.

All 194 passengers survived the Asiana Airlines flight which was travelling from the popular holiday island of Jeju, to Daegu, some 148 miles south of the capital, Seoul, but about a dozen were taken to hospital after fainting or having breathing difficulties.

The plane was about 250 metres above the ground when a door on the left-hand-side was thrown open. Videos circulating on social media showed people clinging to the armrests of their seats, their hair flying and clothes flapping in the wind.
