A man attempted to open the plane's exit doors during the flight, Port of Seattle Police Department spokesperson Chris Guizlo told CBS News. Fellow passengers and flight crew members restrained the individual before landing. The plane landed at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport at around 4:19 a.m. local time, according to Guizlo.
