Not sure if this is the right place and I haven’t seen it posted yet after a cursory search but a woman on PK702 from MAN-ISB opened an exit door rather than the door to the lav, activating the emergency slide.
”A flight from Manchester was delayed by almost eight hours after a passenger mistakenly opened an emergency exit instead of the toilet door.
Pakistan International Airlines‘ (PIA) flight PK702 was ready for an on-time departure to Islamabad at 9.20pm on Friday 7 June. The doors were “armed,” the mode in which the emergency evacuation slide is deployed as soon as a door is opened.
Even though the seatbelt signs were on, a female passenger decided to use the toilet. But she mistakenly opened door L5, at the rear of the aircraft on the left-hand side, rather than the adjacent toilet door.
Cabin crew would normally be seated at the emergency exit. It is not clear why they were unable to prevent the incident.”
