Woman tries to open airplane door midflight
Watch that first step .. it's a doozy!

SEATTLE (AP) — A woman was arrested Wednesday for attempting to open an airplane exit door while the plane was still in the air, police said.

The 52-year-old woman from Dania Beach, Fla., left her seat and tried to open the door as the United Airlines flight was descending into Seattle to land, police said. The plane was at an altitude of about 4,000 feet at the time.

She failed but "did manage to turn the handle far enough that a warning light went on in the cockpit," Seattle-Tacoma International Airport spokesman Bob Parker told KING-TV.

2. I was wondering where Laura was.
She just couldn't resist the free cocktails in First Class again.
