Really, what the heck are you going to form a battering ram with for 50 people, the utility pole in your carry on? 5 people running at the door together are going to have the same effect on that small door as one. The energy will be dispersed through the flesh and not imparted to the door. Then you will have injured people in front the you need to deal with.
Don’t you think they tried every thing within their power, they were going to die.
The passengers sat there and screamed in panic as they approached the ground.
I find this thread fascinating to see how people think or not about such things. Battering ram? Like where is that stored? Then why use a battering ram when you could just use small explosives? Explosives? Nah. Just use a welding torch to cut thru the door. Ha ha.
