Nothing to do with a locked flight deck door.
Indeed, after a collision at KUIN runways intersection between a landing Beechcraft 1900C, N87GL (United Express) and a departing King Air A90, N1127D.
The main entry/exit airstair door of the 1900C could not be opened, not by the people inside and not by the first responders outside.
Unanswered is why the overwing emergency exit on the LH side was not opened from outside by the first responders; or if they even tried or thought of the overwing hatch, that can be opened from the outside by pulling a flush mounted handle (the RH side of the 1900C was engulfed in fire).
