A King Air enroute to Cambridge Bay in Northern Canada had to make an emergency landing when a 20yr old passenger forced the door open at 23,000ft and jumped to his death.
The cabin filled up with Arctic Air and the Pilot made an emergency descent to the nearest airport.
Royal Canadian Mounted Police are still searching for the body.

And I thought Non Plug door design went out with the Vanguard apart from some frieght doors [on most aircraft it is impossible to open passenger doors with even only 1/2lb differential pressure ]as it pushes the door against the frame hard.:confused::confused::confused:

King Air = 1960's/1950's design.
