So why divert then?
So why then, if the doors can't physically be opened in flight due to the pressure differential, does the plane have to make a precautionary diversion/landing if someone tries such a thing .. as seems to be the implication from the original report?
Is it to avoid mass hysteria developing because most other passengers don't realise the doors can't be opened at altitude having seen too many technically inaccurate air disaster/thriller movies?
Maybe the two things - pax attempts to open the door at 35k' and the captain's decision to divert - are not linked at all.
