Woman climbs onto wing of Alaska Airlines plane at Seattle airport due to 'anxiety'
A female passenger took an alternative route off an Alaska Airlines plane after landing in Seattle on Sunday evening.
Just after 5 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 22, Port of Seattle emergency dispatch was alerted to an incident at gate N9 related to arriving Alaska Airlines flight 323, Seattle–Tacoma International Airport Media Relations Manager Perry Cooper told Fox News Digital in a statement.
Cooper said that during the deplaning of the aircraft, a female passenger on board became "anxious" and opened the emergency exit over the wing.
Due to her anxiety, Cooper said the woman then climbed out onto the wing of the plane.
A woman opened the emergency exit and climbed onto the wing of an Alaska Airlines flight after it landed because she had "anxiety." Cooper added that the Port of Seattle Fire responded and helped the passenger off the aircraft wing to the ramp.
The Port Police crisis team responded, Cooper said, and eventually decided to send the passenger to the hospital for evaluation.
Cooper said that there were no injuries and that no other operations were impacted by the incident.
Authorities had to help the woman off the wing of the plane. She was then taken to a hospital. A spokesperson for Alaska Airlines also confirmed the incident to Fox News Digital and said "the matter was safely resolved."
"We are working with our crew and airport officials to gather more details about what may have transpired. We thank our employees for their swift response and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our guests," the airline spokesperson said.

This person has what sounds like horrible anxiety, and yet they chose to travel by commercial plane during the busiest travel period of the year?

I guess crawling out on the wing of an airplane would relieve my anxiety too

Xanax probably would have helped. Crazy.

Whereupon she ran up to the next window and made horrible faces at William Shatner!

That’s wild - like to the point that I’d be concerned this lady had an infection or injury or aneurysm forming in her brain that she doesn’t know about.

Some people get pathologically anxious in planes
I saw it once where a really cute guy (maybe 21 or 22), started hyperventilating and then he grabbed tight the arm of the guy sitting next to him (a stranger). He started setting profusely. I looked over because it was so loud and dramatic . The second he landed, it’s like he snapped out of it. The guy next to him was a good sport and seemed to understand it was a temporary reaction

I definitely would not have minded that!
PS, that's a great way to break the ice with a guy you like, or to even get a first date!
