An Alaska Airlines flight experienced a decompression incident, causing a hole to open in the side of the aircraft. During this incident, the cockpit door unexpectedly flew open, exposing the pilots to noise and wind and making the cockpit accessible to anyone who wanted to enter. It was later revealed that the cockpit door was designed to open in the event of rapid decompression, but this information was not included in the plane's manual. Experts and regulators were unaware of this design feature, and some believe it exposes a security flaw that needs to be addressed. The National Transportation Safety Board has stated that Boeing will make changes to the manual to ensure that flight attendants and cockpit crew are properly informed. [Extracted from the article] |
