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.
There’s no country named Columbia? What country is Bogota the capital of? :)
Sounds like Rico went a bit too far.
Even being detained for jumping out the door the kid still got out of the airport faster than all the other passengers who de-planed normally. LOL
OK, OK... my coffee this morning must have failed to kick in properly... better get Colombian coffee next time around.

Colombia.
Not Columbia.
Columbia is the capital of South Carolina.
Why was he jumping out of a perfectly good airplane...??
There is no such thing as a perfectly good airplane, only ones who have crashed yet.
“Why are you jumping out of a perfectly good airplane?”
“No such thing as a perfectly good airplane.”
He watched “Bullit” 3 times before the flight.
