Playboy bunny Tiffany Livingston tries to exit jet during mid-flight fright | News.com.au

A PLAYBOY centerfold tried to bust out - midair - from a jet amid a bad case of high anxiety.

Model Tiffany Livingston, 21, was aboard JetBlue Flight 522 from Orlando, Florida, to Newark, New Jersey, yesterday when she bolted from her seat and tried to open the door of the plane, a law-enforcement official told the New York Post.

"She said she's gone through this before, but never this bad, and didn't have ... her medication," one source said.

Livingston was detained and placed in federal custody, with charges pending, last night.

So what’s the consensus here, can you open a door mid-flight or would the pressure keep it closed?

Sounds like she is just a pretty face!

I have no idea, but I've read that a door cannot be opened mid-flight (at least at certain stages).

Given she is Playboy centrefold, she could could come in handy in a water ditching - couple of built-in flotation devices! :shock:

The fact that she is actively on medication to minimize the possibility of such behaviour is why she should have been on a no fly list, well prior to her being able to make the booking to have been on the flight.

Most aircraft doors open in before they open out, so pressure does help it from being closed, but just like we don't want you to rest your feet on the door bustle, this could in some way interfere with the integrity of the door, which isn't a good thing

The pressure would keep it closed .. I can't imagine that a human would have enough strength to operate the door handle while the plane is pressurised at cruise altitude.

 

[yohy?!]

Sounds like a panic attack, they are not nice to have on planes! Much better to learn to control yourself rather than depending on meds though.

Of course someone who is medicated for panic attacts should not be on a no fly list. Should everyone who has got a speeding ticket or been at fault in a car accident be banned from the road? Should we start banning people with mental illness from flying? No.

Bit harsh don't you think, people aren't perfect except obviously me and you.

Matt, I have been through panic attacks.
It's bad enough to have one hit when you are several suburbs away from home and you are on a council bus.
You can't think. All you want to do is get away from everyone and everything. Find a bolt hole, crawl into it, and pull it in closed after you.
To have that happen on an aircraft to someone who is supposed to be on medication and who wasn't taking their medication, that puts everyone on board the aircraft at risk. That is why I say that someone who is on medication for panic attacks should be on a no-fly list.

Even taking that view, wouldn't many take medication, thus obviating the issue?

Agree that that's far too harsh.

Exactly how many people would be banned from flying? Quite a lot I think.
