Her father pulled her from door. She was screaming her head off that she needed to open the door and die. I wasn't scared as I knew the door could not be opened but her shrieks were terrifying. And she was sitting behind us so when she was pulled back to her seat it was awful to see her suicidal distress."Authorities said the passenger made comments about wanting to take her own life and was acting in a manner that could have been a danger to herself and others and had to be restrained."She appeared suicidal and she was sitting only inches from me, screaming her head off," Herbert told Eyewitness News in a Twitter DM. "She was screaming about wanting to die."In audio broadcasted on liveatc.net from LaGuardia's air traffic control, the pilot tells the tower that there's an emergency on board."We just had a disturbed, mentally disturbed passenger trying to open the forward door," the pilot says. "Everything is under control now. We gonna be taxiing to the gate."No injuries were reported, and the passenger was removed from the plane.The 20-year-old woman taken to Lenox Hill Hospital for evaluation, and Port Authority police took statements from the passengers.Republic Airways would not confirm the incident, other than to issue a statement, reading, in part, "We're aware of the social media report related to the flight and are looking into it, but what I can tell you now is that the flight landed uneventfully and proceeded to its gate."Authorities stress that regardless of what the woman attempted to do, the aircraft door is designed not to open in midflight and that negative pressure will not allow the door to open.----------
