Yep,
Not an easy thing to accomplish. Something does not ring true about this story….
E
very unlikely to happen …
fell out or thrown out?
I’m always a bit nervous when I have a child seated in the middle row behind P2 – that big red emergency door handle must be quite tempting to a five year old bored by a longish flight.
Is it just one handle that is needed to open the door, or is there a 2nd latch system like in PA28’s and so on?
Nevertheless, unless it was a relatively slow speed, it would take one hell of a force, and a squeeze to get that door open and jump out – pushed or not.
The top of the clamshell has a handle and a safely latch that must be pulled to turn the handle. The bottom has a separate handle. In my opinion no possible way you could open it accidentally.
Indeed. I am not saying it can’t be done. Just that unless the latch was faulty, it couldn’t happen as an accident.
Looks like it was for real. Link here.
