Yes, they could open, but they would not get a warning until the door went to 3 feet. WHAT!? It wasn't taught in training on the a/c because it happened so rarely. We had a good laugh at dinner as the guys were telling everyone how big my eyes were when I came into the cockpit.

I didn't hear about the door coming off. Anyone hurt?
Thankfully no one was killed the FA had some bruises from being banged around (And I'd venture to guess some brown trousers.)
