Opening Cabin Doors in Flight
Reading the usual sensationalist nonsense in the likes of the Daily Mail about passengers going crazy on board various airliners at cruising altitude and trying to open the door to get out I am always amused at the comments about 'putting the other passengers in danger' because obviously anyone with a bit of sense knows that it is impossible to open the cabin doors of a pressurised aircraft at 39,000 ft.
However, my question is how easy or difficult is it to open the doors in flight below 10,000 feet when inside and outside pressure is equal? I am guessing it would still be quite difficult because of wind pressure etc?
