Re:Woman jailed for trying to open the airplane door mid flight by Someone1234 on Wednesday February 12, 2020 @10:28AM (#22309543)
It isn't intuitive how aircraft doors work, but the door doesn't open "out" in the typical sense. It actually sits against the aircraft's outer hull, the larger the differential the higher pressure exist between the door and the skin of the aircraft.

When the door is opened, it actually slides in then out sideways rather than swings open.
