Terrible thing to wish on those in the landing zone.

It is physically impossible to open an airliner door in flight as the pressure differential between the cabin and outside air creates a force of several tons holding the door closed. The Incredible Hulk couldnt open it.
Are you sure of this? I would think that the higher pressure would be inside the cabin and the lower pressure would be the outside air, making the pressure differential a positive pressure from inside the plane to the outside of the plane. If you did open the door, you would essentially get sucked out.

Sheesh. Here we have a smoker trying to be considerate and everybody’s complaining. Buncha dang grouches is what I think.
To: BunnySlippers
Maybe, in addition to establishing the smoking area as 20 feet outside they could also put the muslim prayer room there as well. It could be marketed as an amenity (and heck, their carpets fly anyway, don’t they?)

To: Sopater
The higher pressure is inside the fuselage, but the doors are designed as plugs so that the pressure holds them closed. The clever mechanism that permits them to be pushed through the opening to get the door out of the way, yet function as a plug when closed, makes it deceiving. Notice that when they open the door on an airliner, it first must be pulled in before it can be pushed out.

What an idiot.
Everyone knows you’re just supposed to crack a window.
To: noiseman
The Incredible Hulk couldnt open it. The Hulk would just open a window if he wanted to smoke anyway.

"Everyone knows youre just supposed to crack a window." Good point. Reminds me of a video I saw yesterday taken by a passenger in Europe who was upset because the "window" and window frame came off in his hands. All he really had was the cosmetic piece of plexiglass that is between you and the real, multi-layer window (that was still perfectly fine), but it still freaked him out. Most people again don't realize that virtually everything you see in an aircraft cabin is cosmetic and not part of the aircraft's structure.

Being in aviation myself, it never ceases to amaze me how fragile the uninitiated believe aircraft to be (because of mislaid fears as I just described). I am also amazed that these same people willingly board aircraft that they seem to think are always on the ragged edge of disaster. They never stop to think that if these machines were as dangerous as they imagine, we would have accidents occurring around the clock, every day.
I was once explaining to a woman how the Air Traffic Control system works and was shocked when I realized what a revelation this was to her. Prior to that discussion, she had thought that pilots just decided where to fly, wild-west style, and that it was just by sheer luck that they got to their destination without hitting anyone else. Why would anyone who believed that EVER step foot inside an aircraft?

I wonder if the mental illness he is suffering from is called Islam.

The door has to come in first, before it can rotate and swing out.
Math time. Door 50" wide x 75" tall= 3750 square inches. Extremely low side of the differential pressure would be at least 8 psi. 30,000 pounds.
Something close to that.

600 mph, the air is -60* and the wings are really smooth.
You’re dead of exposure and oxygen deprivation LONG before you hit the ground.
