Vietnam Airlines pax tries to open a door

Vietnam Airlines mid-air scare: New Zealander Mark Ansley 'never thought twice' about restraining man trying to open exit door on flight to Sydney
(ABC news)

I would have thought that at a cabin pressure between 7-8psid, the force needed to open a door would be, well, around 8lbs for every square inch of the doors surface area.

So I am not sure I would have bothered to restrain anyone, particularly this demented tosser.

"After the man had undergone an initial medical assessment he was issued a notice ... for the offence of endangering the safety of an aircraft," the AFP said.
