I guess they haven't read this article:
�Cabin pressure won�t allow it,� explains Patrick Smith, an airline pilot and author of Cockpit Confidential, a book about air travel. �Think of an aircraft door as a drain plug, fixed in place by the interior pressure. Almost all aircraft exits open inward. Some retract upward into the ceiling; others swing outward; but they open inward first.
�At a typical cruising altitude, up to eight pounds of pressure are pushing against every square inch of interior fuselage. That�s over 1,100 pounds against each square foot of door.�
So even Chuck Norris couldn�t open it. But what about at lower altitudes, when cabin pressure is reduced?
�A meager two pounds per square inch is still more than anyone can displace � even after six cups of coffee and the aggravation that comes with sitting behind a shrieking baby,� says Smith. �The doors are further secured by a series of electrical and/or mechanical latches. You would need a hydraulic jack, and airport security doesn�t allow those.�
But there has been at least one incident when a passenger did manage to open the door of an aircraft while it was in the sky. In 1971 �Dan Cooper� hijacked a Boeing 727, extorted a $200,000 ransom, and then leapt from the rear exit with a parachute, never to be seen again. However, he had the pilot depressurise the plane in order to do so, while a year later �Cooper vanes� were installed to completely disable aircraft doors while the landing gear is up.
But hey, keep on foaming.
But hey, he's got a Mooooslim name, so it must be a jihadi plot, not just a crazy person.
A Moose limb name? Would that be like Hoofer?
Not sure what Mooses have to do with it. I was thinking Jihadis, because they quite often have names like "Yusuf Hassan."
In fact, was I the only person who knew the lead character in this story was going to have a name like Yusaf Hassan as soon as the media used the term "Edmonton Man" in a story about problems on a Westjet. Not because of the Edmonstan thing, but because Canadian media try hard not to relate names to stories that sound too Hassani.
More importantly though Andy, you've got to do something about your Moosophobia.
Or at least realize you're most likely safe from moose attacks on Westjet. Just stay off this airline.
No matter how much you like the fact they won't serve .
But hey, keep on foaming.
Careful AndyT that's close to insulting. Not even a week and you are on the edge. Remember 1 month no insults for each of us.
Thanos and FD are just unhappy because I shut them up about Mooooslims latest plot to bring down planes by opening the door by pointing out that is actually impossible. But keep on foaming, guys
All I agreed to was not insulting you, since it's reciprocal.

Unhappy? Teasing Moosophobes pleases me. But Andy if their really were evil Moose Limbs like you seem to think with your bad spelling, wouldn't their activity as enemies to society be immediately evident? You know, like with the Muslims?
Personally I think we should deal with the Muslims first. Their ideology is driving larger masses of them nuts.
One of them goes nuts on a plane and the media says, "Edmonton Man", but we know. It's those damn Muslims again.
I'm not saying "all" Muslims anymore than you're saying "all" Mooses.
In fact with you, you seem to be more concerned about the legs, or limbs of the Moose. I think I get it. It's like that movie, right? Where the guy gets a hand transplant, but it turns out it was the hand of a serial killer, so it makes him run around at night choking people.
It's similar with Islam, but different. It was an ideology created by a serial killer. His madness is engrained into his theology. Now some of his followers ignore the "Kill em all, rape and enslave" bits and pretend that isn't what it's about. Others can't ignore the obvious and do as the book tells them. "If you're not attacking the infidel yet, get ready, cause it's coming" is where they are.
They still follow the example of their prophet who they're told was the "perfect one."
There are hundreds of millions of those religious followers of the commands of the quote/unquote "prophet". Some are more active in their need to subjugate the unbeliever and enforce the command on the "believers" to "submit" than others, but even so, no, even they are "NOT ALL".
