Praise for the two policemen who tried to hold the door shut, but not a
mention of the pilot getting them all back on the ground safely. Nice.

Of course not. He almost got the PM killed! What surprised me most
about this story was that the PM travels by such modest plane.

What a load of bull****.
At no time was any-one in danger !
The door will not open in flight unless you are -really- determined..
all the passengers will -not- be ejected into space and the particular
aircraft is quite a pleasant one to fly..
having been in some form of turbulence they would all be well strapped
in

[long explanation why snipped]

No, no! Let's argue about that!

I say, against everything that's been said in this thread, against
what I learned in my private training, my own experience of a door
opening after takeoff about 3 years ago, and against common sense,
that I haven't posted on rec.aviation for too long to remember that
sometimes people do take what you say seriously :=)
