Delta flight passenger detained after opening emergency door moments before takeoff, airline says

A scare for passengers on a Delta flight out of LAX today after an unruly passenger deployed the plane's emergency slide moments before that plane was set to take off. Delta says the passenger opened one of the plane's emergency exit doors and slid down the emergency slide as the plane was preparing to taxi. The passenger was quickly detained by LAX police and taken to the hospital for a mental health evaluation. The Seattle bound plane returned to its gate and all the other passengers were rebooked onto a different flight. Scary situation there.
