Teen Opens Plane?s Emergency Exit And Slides Down The Wing

Authorities are investigating reports that a 17-year-old boy opened a plane?s emergency exit and ?slid down the wing? moments after it landed.

The Copa Airlines flight from Panama City was taxiing to its gate at San Francisco International Airport on Tuesday afternoon when the teen ?unexpectedly? left via the exit door, the airline company said in a statement.

?A Copa crew member closed the exit door and the aircraft proceeded to the gate where all other passengers and crew disembarked safely,? the statement read. ?The passenger has been taken into custody by law enforcement.?

Video that CBS San Francisco obtained shows people out of their seats and gathered around the plane?s opened door after the teen, who had been sitting in the exit row, had left.
