up to 8.65 psi holding the 6' by 3' door shut, so unlikely!
eg) 22000 lbs or 10000kgs (10 tonnes) - the same static thrust as the B737 engine!!

I've occasionally forgotton to depressurise the cabin after landing (we land slightly pressurised at about 0.1 psi). The cabin crew struggle to open the door with 0.1 psi (around 120 kg), and I know even the dv window requires a good pull.
