What ever happened with that purser who died during a emergency evsc from a A300 in 2000 in Miami? News reports said that he was "blown" out the ac nd the NTSB said something in their preliminary about the cabin not being fully depressurized. The way I see it, he didn't let go of the door in time. The power assist kicked in as the door was armed, and he got thrown out of the sc by the door momentum. Cabin pressure had nothing to do with it. He just died from landing on the tarmac head first at high speed. What's your take on this? Also why do the airbus doors have a red cabin pressure light but boeing doesn't? I know it has something to do with the vent doors or something. And what happens if you try to open the door with the light flashing? Also what do you mean a boeing plug door will blow on landing?
