SAN FRANCISCO—A teenage passenger was taken for a medical evaluation after he opened an emergency door on an airplane when it landed in San Francisco then slid down the wing to the tarmac, an official said Wednesday. The teen was not injured during the Tuesday incident that occurred at San Francisco International Airport minutes after Copa Airlines Flight 208 arrived from Panama City, airport spokesperson Doug Yakel said. The teen — a U.S. citizen — was travelling alone and appeared to be in emotional distress during the flight, Yakel said. The teen’s name has not been released.
