I imagine I probably would be here in October ... not planning to go
anywhere too far until early November.

I might be in Bangalore in October - how can I contact you?

Either through the Gmail or Hotmail addresses you see me post with, or if
you search my name on Writerfind.com, you'll see all sorts of super-secret
personal contact information.

Please read the news below and advise if the emergency door can be
opened just by touching the handle. What is the credibility of the
story.

Should this forum is not for such discussion then please accept my
apology

Why on earth would you touch the handle at all? Doesn't have big a red "do
not touch" sign?


Maybe the sign wasn't in Vietnamese.

I've been on dozens of VN flights .. the passengers paw
and grab at everything and everyone.


Great. Why don't they walk into the pilot's cabin in mid-flight and
start playing with the controls?

The door is locked.

VN aircraft have signs in Vietnamese. And judging by the OP, if he wrote it,
he comprehends English quite well.

That's what that flight attendant on Helios Airways discovered.

I didn't know the OP was the person who deployed the slide.

I was betting the OP just used that name to post.
