question: Since partial door opening in fly is possible in 747s for smoke removal i wonder why ad how the doors did not open when the Flying valve did hit the handle in more than 12 o'clock position..

any comment about?
The door handle mechanism or shaft sheared during the violent movement of the handle when it was struck by the oxy cylender
Check the pics of the handle embedded in the door bustle, handle at 12 oclock postion.
