The man was eventually calmed down after flight attendants and passengers intervened.
British Airways has said that it is not possible for a plane door to opened midflight. Dr. David Birch, senior lecturer in aerospace engineering at Surrey University in the U.K., previously told the BBC this is because aircraft doors are designed to lock into place through the force created by the higher pressure cabin and lower pressure atmosphere outside the plane at altitude.
"The likelihood of a door being ripped open by a human being is very low," Dennis Tajer, a pilot with American Airlines, toldHowever, there are also precautions in case someone is able—through some fantastic feat of strength or technical malfunction—to open a plane door. "It is also an airworthiness requirement [in U.S. law] that the aircraft must be able to fly and land safely with an open door, and that if opened in flight, the door must not become a hazard to the passengers or the aircraft," said Birch.
A British Airways aeroplane takes off from the runway at Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5 in west London, on September 13, 2019. A man aboard a British Airways flight attempted to open the plane door midflight.
