Go to your systems handbook for the 737 or A320 under general and look at the door schematic. If the entire door actually opened, there’s nothing in the systems handbook about that happening.

NTSB said at a recent press conference that Boeing would be updating their manuals to include this information.

I got a sneaky feeling there’s more than one new manual update coming.

I’ve been a Boeing defender, but, I’m beginning to wonder if Boeing has maybe considered selling the Max on Temu?🤔

What good would that do? We don't get a warning that a rapid decompression is about to happen.

I was unaware that standing in front of the door could injure or kill you, if there was a decompression. I probably wont hang out in range of the door from now on. Good to know and all...

Who hangs out in front of the door? The only time people go near it is when they are on their way into the bathroom. FAs are either in their jumpseats or the galley, not standing awkwardly in front of the cockpit door.

The point is that it's a bad design. Blowout panels could accomplish equalization, but no. Door opens. Which is not only an injury threat but a security one.

God knows why you people go to the mat for Boeing time after time.

This isn't a Boeing thing. A320 doors also open under decompressions. These are not the only two aircraft types that have this feature. The reason for this is because the door is a huge hazard to passengers if it flies off.

It appears the Airbus door works the same way. I suspect there is a reason they both set it up to open with a cabin decompression.
