A passenger on the jet who was an off-duty pilot entered the cockpit and helped land the plane as several passengers used their belts and plastic handcuffs to hold down Osbon.
Wouldn't this have been possible even if the armed door had been a curtain?
We know that one thing the French prosecutor said cannot be true:
He said the passengers wouldn't have been aware what was happening until the last few moments.
But we also know the captain was trying to knock down the door. Many of the passengers must have been aware of this.
The descent lasted 8 minutes, but do we know when the captain first tried to enter the cockpit? The situation could've escalated quickly from knocking via banging to ramming and end of recording.
