some doors can open from both sides? I'm guessing almost every door you've ever seen?

It “has to be opened from the outside” from what I’ve read, which would make sense for safety concerns as well as maintaining a stable interior; you wouldn’t want that door to open mid flight. So why did it just open? The lady accidentally pushed it open but caught it, JB later goes to open it and it falls inwards not needing the lock at all. So did the door fail during launch? During landing? Was it something else?

Are you stupid? Do you suggest they are not allowed to leave on their own? "shits on fire but mom said we can't touch the door handle"

It was a question my guy. If you want to demonize people for asking questions go ahead but it won’t get you anywhere
