Is there any reason why it is impossible to have forward escape panels on commercial aircraft ie left and right of flight crew, or even some kind of pop out/breakable glass.

The secure cockpit is now a neccisity in my view and it's removal would make pilots feel quite vulnerable, post 9/11, (again in my not expert opinion.)

What options are there? The above named incidents are catastrophic, more so beacause these were totally preventable deaths (the flight crew) and/or would usually be considered minor and totally escapable, Rest In Piece to those aviators and passengers
