The female passenger then took another route from the Alaska Airlines flight arriving in Seattle on Sunday evening.
Shortly after 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, December 22, Port of Seattle emergency dispatch was alerted to an incident at gate N9 related to the arrival. Alaska Airlines flight 323, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport Communications Director Perry Cooper told Fox News Digital in a statement.
Cooper said that while the plane was deplaning, a female passenger on board “became alarmed” and opened an emergency exit on top of the wing.
Out of concern, Cooper said the woman climbed onto the wing of the plane.

Cooper added that Port of Seattle Fire responded and helped the passenger from the wing of the plane to the runway.
A team of Port Police responded, Cooper said, and ultimately decided to send the passenger to the hospital for evaluation.
