The women, aged 26 and 27, were drinking heavily and had to be held in
their seats by security staff until the plane landed in Frankfurt.

What security staff?


Air Marshals?


From what country?

Women try to open door mid-flight

The women allegedly became violent when they were refused more alcohol

I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable legal explanation for it, but I
can't understand why they're not banged up in a German cell awaiting
trial at the moment.

Probably because the expected penalty would not be any time in prison.


OK- that's reasonable, but it's about time this kind of thing was taken
seriously. There are lots of news reports of people doing similar
things, with similarly nothing much happening to them.

What was the real danger? The door isn't coming open at 10000 meters.
So, you just have a couple of bad drunks.

It makes a largely uncomfortable experience more uncomfortable. Try to stop
defending assholes for the sake of contrarianism.


Besides, at least one of them purportedly attacked a flight attendant
with a vodka bottle, so the prudent thing would have been to get them
off the plane.

There have been multiple reports of people "trying" to open the door of
airliners. This is what I was referring to, not threatening or attacking
air crew. Let's not pretend there is a danger to passengers because a
drunk tried to open an aircraft doot.

Interfering with a flight crew can send a person to prison.

However, they are girls, so it will probably be ignored.

What stops the door being opened at 33000 feet?

There's this sign on the door: do not open.
That should do the trick, I think!

Most (not all) aircraft doors are the 'plug' type that open inward.
At altitude the pressure in the aircraft will oppose any pull on it
with a force equal to the pressure differential. Even a modest
5 psi difference would make this impossible. If the door is 70" high by 20"
wide
the force holding it closed would be around 3.5 tons !

All the aircraft doors I've seen seem to open outwards. Although it's
possible the mechanism requires it to move inwards slightly first. I've
never really paid much attention.. until now.
