Passengers told police Herrera made unusual statements before trying to open the door, but the FBI did not elaborate on what was said. What the heck is it with "reporters" these days? What the heck did he say? If the FIBbies won't tell you, surely there were some passengers available to interview.

That’s what we thought. How much money did it cost to lift off, turn around, land again, close door, then take off again? That fuel cost isn’t “gimme sum reglar, please.”

The emergency exits have lock mechanisms to prevent passengers from opening them without approval from the flight crew so there was no danger to anyone on board, Port of Portland police said
Its called PRESSURIZATION!! The cabin pressure diferential between outside pressure and inside cabin pressure at that altitude is at least 4 or 5 psi. On a door about 2200 square inches in area that amounts to more than 8500 pounds of force that idiot would have to muster to open the thing. Not possible. Actually you can't even open the door on the ground until the a/c is depressurized the force required is too great.

Cabin pressure is typically about equal to air pressure at 8,000 feet. Below that elevation, internal and external pressures are equalized, and only the lock mechanisms keep the (inward-opening) door from opening.

If he is, they’re going to keep that information from the public.
No need to upset the non-muzzies.

If he was a tea party member, the media would be all over it, and would report every small detail of what he said. If he made statements to the effect that he was anti-government, or anti-any politically correct group or cause, that also would be emphasized in extreme detail by the liberals in the MSM.
To: chaosagent
sorry, but you have it backwards.....the cabin is pressurized and so if you did get the door open, everyone within a few feet of the door would suck out, and the aircraft cabin would be at 30000 ft level, and all would be in extremely serious medical condition...

Not sure why you think I have anything backwards.
Many planes have electrical locks on the doors so they cannot be opened without a crew member allowing it. This keeps passengers, etc. from opening the door when cabin pressurization is no longer a factor.

Passengers told police Herrera made unusual statements before trying to open the door, but the FBI did not elaborate on what was said. "I pressed the bell. Let me off. You're passing my stop!"
