Curious as to why SLF's could not open Rear Cabin Doors?
One of the Interviewed Pasengers in row 24 stated that they tried to open the rear doors (when the water was only up to the bottom sill) and
could not budge them at all. He went on to say that one of the FC tried to help (still not able to open) then directed them all toward the front of the plane.
Does the ditching switch also disable the rear cabin doors??
Thanks
PS - Would the plane have floated as well with both engines still attached to the wing nacelles??
