Locking the flight deck door, like the terrorists did, has probably been the biggest security upgrade since that day.
- hedora 4y agoThere have been multiple cases of "suicide by jet airliner" where the pilot waits until they are alone in the cockpit, then locks the door, and kills everyone on board by crashing the plane. They were overseas, with overseas airlines. Anyway, the door isn't a panacea.
- andirk 4y agoTo my knowledge, there is no panacea for human security on airlines, or anywhere ever. My point is locking the door would have likely stopped all 9/11 hijackings and maybe others where the hijacker took over the cockpit. I've been especially interested in aviation recently, but I think I will pick up the hijacking dangers portion down the road.
