This is a video I made myself using information from the Dutch airline transavia.com.

It gives some information that might be interesting to some people.

Hope you will enjoy.

thanks for the video...

got a question about that overwing emergency exit door. can it be opened during the flight, say at FL300? no no....i don't want to open that door
but what if there are some idiots onboard who sits next that door and pull the handle (for whatever reason)??

No, it is not possible.

Not any door can be opened inflight.

This is because of the air pressure. This door has a new way of opening, but if you would look at a normal door it comes inside first and
then goes outside before you open it.

During a flight cabin pressure inside the plane is higher than outside the plane. So the air pressure is pressing the door to the fuselage,
keeping it closed. Even with then horses you cannot open it

As I said, this is a newer overwing exit. The older one is a hatch (or how do you call it in English). You have to pull it inside first and
then throw it outside. Same story with the air pressure.

thanks for your explanation...I was really afraid if they can be opened inflight...If that so then you dont need a bomb to explode the plane
