Think about it...there's three ways this story ends...Metro752 said:She was yanking on the door, and I don't know that much about Boeing jet doors, are you gonna jet let her keep yanking on the door?
You would have just sat there instead of grabbing her? I take back the stretcher part.

EagleRJ said:Any pressurization whatsoever would prevent the door from being opened. Most airplanes keep a small differential right up until landing to prevent rapid pressure increases during descent.
KSEA field elevation is 433' ASL. The airplane's cabin was probably close to that already, so it's cabin differential was around two pounds per square inch.
Let's say the main door is six feet high and three feet wide, or 72 inches by 36 inches, for a total of 2592 square inches. At a cabin differential of 2 psi, that works out to a force of 5184 pounds keeping the door closed!
To be fair, most doors have a small flap that opens when the handle is swung, relieving any residual pressure. The door can't be lifted off its mounting lugs though, unless all pressure is relieved, which would mean waiting for the entire cabin to depressurize through the flap.
It was a portal to the other side...El Cóndor said:I thought I read somewhere that a flight attendant was killed when she was sucked out of the airplane and fell to the tarmac just as she was opening the door to evacuate the pax on an airplane that had performed an emergency landing or something. I just don't remember whether she was opening a door or an emergency window . . . I think it was a door.

FN, once again...That's funny. But don't you know there are actually TWO kinds of guys on Lifetime?? The jerk-wife-beating-child-molesting first guy and the Dr-Phil-sensitive-ripped-abs-flannel-wearing NEW guy.FN FAL said:Haven't you watched Court TV and the other women's cable channels like Lifetime network? Men are evil and if they lift a hand to prevent women from doing something stupid, they shall be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
