  "summary": "The Korea Times reports that a court has sentenced a 38-year-old passenger, surnamed Park, to a suspended two-year prison term and 80 hours of community service for attempting to open an emergency door during a flight from Bangkok to Daegu last year. The incident occurred on November 22, 2025, when the T way Air aircraft was at an altitude of 37,000 feet. Park was charged under the Aviation Security Act for attempting to open the door once, an action that authorities deemed posed little danger due to the improbability of the door opening at that altitude. The court's decision took into account the limited danger posed by the action and Park's single attempt.",
