Woman climbs onto wing of Alaska Airlines plane at Seattle airport due to 'anxiety'

A female passenger took an alternative route off an Alaska Airlines plane after landing in Seattle on Sunday evening.

Shortly after 5 p.m. on Sunday, December 22, the Port of Seattle’s emergency dispatch received a report of an incident at gate N9 involving Alaska Airlines flight 323 at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. This information was confirmed by Perry Cooper, the Media Relations Manager at the airport, in a statement provided to Fox News Digital.

Cooper said that during the deplaning of the aircraft, a female passenger on board became “anxious” and opened the emergency exit over the wing. 

Due to her anxiety, Cooper said the woman then climbed out onto the wing of the plane.
