I did a search but found no mention of it on Anet.
This happened more than a day ago at Miri Airport in the East Malaysian state of Sarawak. No passenger injured though the culprit might or might not have suffered direct consequential harm. It appeared that the incident occured shortly before take off. Conflicting reports on what happened to the man physically.

Some said the guy screamed that he saw ghosts, while some said he had a fight with his girlfriend. Some earlier sources also suggest that this guy is an Air Asia employee but he was off-duty then.

I dont get it... did the crew disarm the doors? Was it still at the gate? How was a slide not deployed? If it was a B1900, no cabin crew or slides and makes mode sense except for the broken bones...

The main doors would have been armed as it was taxiing. It sounds like the guy opened the over-wing exit, which I believe you can open anytime the cabin is not yet pressurised (like on the ground taxxing as they were). The slide would have deployed.

Quoting tharanga (Reply 6): cabin crew wasn't strong enough to stop him opening the door.
On the 1900, there is no cabin crew, only flight crew. The FO does a safety briefing and then proceeds back into the cockpit. Often the cockpit door is left open, but otherwise the passengers are unsupervised. There is no FA jumpseat on the 1900, no lavatory, and while the A/C is small, the plane is narrow and long so there are lots of places the flight crew can't see from the cockpit. Besides, their attention is generally to the flight (as it should be, since no autopilot on the 1900s). In my experience with 1900 flights, mostly in the midwest with Air Midwest and Great Lakes, passengers are completely left alone after the safety briefing to landing.
Quoting jetMARC (Reply 8): did the crew disarm the doors?
Doors can't be disarmed. There are no slides on the 1900. It isn't very tall at all.
Quoting jetMARC (Reply 8): How was a slide not deployed?
Because if there was a slide, it would get torn up in the #1 engine as soon as it deployed. And the plane isn't very tall at all. For instance, our Embraers at work aren't very tall. If we need our stairs or ramp elsewhere, its quite easy and painless to jump from the L1 door to the ramp. You might break a bone if the plane was moving but I do it quite often. I find it fun jumping from the airplane! FWIW, the Embraers don't have slides, either. Maybe overwater A/C but not ours.
Quoting vaus77w (Reply 9): The main doors would have been armed as it was taxiing. It sounds like the guy opened the over-wing exit, which I believe you can open anytime the cabin is not yet pressurised (like on the ground taxxing as they were). The slide would have deployed.
You can't arm the door. You can secure the pax door in the 1900 like any other door by pulling it shut, but assuming the plane wasn't pressurized, the door or the window exits could have been opened on the ground while the plane was taxiing. In this case I'm sure he went out the overwing exit. Had he exited from the pax door he would have been chopped up by the #1 engine.
Again, there is no need for slides on the 1900 and its not equipped with them. If he jumped from the wing of the 1900 exit, I'm sure from a moving a/c there would be a possibility for broken bones, especially if he landed badly. Its not a tall aircraft but its still a good three-four feet fall, if not more. And the wing is high in the 1900. You have to walk over the wing spar in the cabin.

Glancing through the articles, they made no indication of which exit the man used. How are you so sure that he exited from the front lefthand door when there are at least 4 doors on an A320 with emergency chutes.

An Embraer 135, 140 and 145 perhaps yes, but A320 maybe not so. I know that the L1 door of the 737 is at least 8 feet off the ground so the L1 door on an A320 will be higher than this. 8ft+ is not an easy drop for an adult unless he/she is adept at parkour.

The newspaper got it wrong, the plane was taxiing. The only person I know who successfully jumped from a jetliner during take off was Col. John Matrix (Arnold Schwarzenegger) in Commando.

Quoting jetMARC (Reply 10): Airbus overwing exits have slides too tho and are always armed, unless it was a B737.
Well, Indo Air Asia had a little kid running towards the overwing exit and opened it after it got to the gate... Wasn't a pleasant day to be in Ops... and neither was this more recent one.
Quoting Confuscius (Reply 14): The newspaper got it wrong, the plane was taxiing.
Anything after doors closed until take off is usually translated by the new media as "about to take off", and anything after landing until doors opened as "during landing".

shouldnt it arm when The engines are running/Aircraft in Air.

That could be the causative reason. The soon-to-be jumper couldn't take his eyes off them resulting in a quarrel with his gf and then his mind went bonkers.

Quoting Polot (Reply 1): I would expect that someone jumping off an A320 will suffer some injuries, broken bones doesn't seem like that much of a stretch.
Quoting jetMARC (Reply 8): How was a slide not deployed?
According to a news article, the slide was deployed....if the reporter is right.
From your post, you seem to be misled by the photo on The New Age article. But of course its the *repooter's fault. That B1900 has nothing at all to do with the AirAsia A320 incident.
*the misspelling is accidental but the noncorrection is intentional.

I just flew with them a few weeks ago and believe me, I could not take my eyes of them. So hot ! ..and I had seat 1C !

I understand completely your ecstacy on beholding the feast of beauties. At least you can freely partake in your enjoyment. Lucky you!
In my job of shooting people portraiture, there are many a times I came up close and personal with drop dead gorgeous birds but unlike you, I have to literally tear my eyes away from the eye candies. Being a professional, both in craft and ethics, I against my baser instinct have to overcome (failure to do so is not an option) the urge to train my sight on them even a nanosecond longer than appropriate and necessary. Poor suffering soul, me!

many people have done before but the best one for me it was not time ago when a cabin crew did in Jetblue I think and he opened the door went out and go home to quit his job after a fight with a pax before departure... there´s so many cases, people have tried even after take off and in cruise...
