Authorities said a teenage boy travelling alone opened an emergency door after his plane landed, slid down the wing and jumped onto a tarmac at San Francisco before shocked passengers could do anything to stop him.
Some passengers flying on Copa Airlines Flight 208 from Panama City, Panama, said that by the time they realized the door had been removed, the boy was already on the ground, running.
San Francisco Airport spokesman Doug Yakel said the 17-year-old removed the door as the plane was heading to a gate on Tuesday.
Yakel says an airfield construction crew held him until police arrived. He said the teenager is a US citizen and appeared to be in emotional distress during the flight.
e said no runways or flights were affected and that the unidentified boy wasn't injured.
My guess: On anti-anxiety meds and freaked out
Another “undocumented migrant” makes his way safely to a sanctuary city from Columbia.
Correction... from Panama
It beats the hell out of waiting for his fellow passengers to gather their belongings and screaming kids to deplane.
Teenager is a US citizen
Correction: The individual in question is a US Citizen.

Jumping out of airplanes - doing it wrong
“Another “undocumented migrant” makes his way safely to a sanctuary city from Columbia.”
Spot on!
Except, he is an American citizen, his flight was from Panama and there is no such country named “Columbia.”
But aside from that, you nailed it!
Illegal alien, running loose on tarmac. Should have been shot. Definitely send home on next flight and fine the airline for bringing him to the US.
Copa Airlines Flight 208 from Panama City, Panama
My guess an illegal twerp stow-away. Hope they fly him back - and boot him out the hatch at altitude!
How is he a US citizen? Anchor baby? And mental issues?
“I’m going to be the first one off this plane if it’s the last thing I do! I feel restless and bored, so I should not have to keep waiting.”
Story does not make any sense. WTH? Why would an “American citizen” do such an insane act - UNLESS he’s a mule, carrying a load of cocaine, perhaps?

I would think they would not let a teen sit in one of those seets. They have special rules for those seats.
Wow. You sure are expecting a lot.
