Or she could have just NOT opened the door and called through the cabin phone and told the pilots of the danger. That is what should have been done since it is the proper procedure in the event of an emergency AND should have been learned in-training. Then the pilots could contact ATC and be landed immediately to the closest destination, and police would be ready to detain the shooter. The door to the cockpit is locked very securely to prevent access of possible dangers to reach the pilots so they can still fly the plane... (a feature that was considered a necessity after 9/11) Even then, none of the passengers tried to land/fly the plane or fight the guy, which could have saved their lives since there’s an auto-land option (kind of like auto-pilot). Auto-land is used when it’s foggy out and pilots can’t see.

[@joosii9279]

Aarow Thomas seriously?

[@-caesarian-6078]

joosii / Yup, it’s also important to remember that this happened in 1987, when 1. Hijackers never crashed the plane, they just forced the pilots to land at the nearest airport, then held the passengers hostage for ransom (think DB Cooper) 2. Hijackers just didn’t target smaller planes, if they want a ransom, they get more money for more hostages 3. Hijackings in general were super rare and not really considered a problem. 4. The space between the galley and the cockpit was so small, a door would be difficult to fit.

[@arturcernonog9915]

Aarow Thomas, my dad used to be a commercial pilot in the soviet union and it was very strict that pilots and crew knew how to respond to a hijacking, they would even have a combat tokarev locked away in case of a hijacking and the pilots were rigorously trained to be able to neutralise the hijackers.

[@hunterpruett5455]

why did the flight attendant open the door?

[@masol3726]

To warn the pilots that there was a "problem" going on. The problem was a gunshot so the pilots would have landed the plane at an airfield and get him arrested but they failed so the pilots both got shot and the plane crashed.

I'm a Brit, but feel like asking if u r Brits too, given such understatement! Yes, I know ur being ironic. But we should not underestimate the danger created by disturbed people, even though most with mental illnesses never cause such issues, and are abused and oppressed by so-called 'normal' people, more than vice versa. But whilst we generally spend too long picking on the non-dangerous unwell, we tend to downplay the warning signs of those who are a danger. Any actual threats or violence in the context of mental illness (or even in those with no obvious mental health issues), should be reported. The majority of mass murders, of all kinds, are usually hinted at prior by the perpetrator. Certainly not all threats will result in the threats being carried out, but should be reported for assessment anyway.
