Impossible to open in flight due to pressurisation loads and the flight locks these are activated at approx 70 Knots.Never heard of the accident in Toulouse not sure if this is possible but presumably the flight locks were not activated(aircraft in ground mode) but would still require some power to open the door even with a modest amount of pressure in the cabin.
