A 17-year-old passenger swung open an emergency exit Tuesday and jumped from an airplane onto the runway at San Francisco International Airport.
An airport official said Copa Airlines flight 208 from Panama City landed about 2:30 p.m. and the teen, who has not been publicly identified, jumped as the plane was waiting to taxi to the gate.
The passenger, a US citizen, was not injured and was taken into police custody. It's unclear why he jumped from the plane. A police spokesman could not immediately be reached for comment.
