World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Important to note that airplane doors literally cannot be opened while the plane is pressurized, as it is during flight. There are several tons of air pressure holding them shut. This sort of mishap is only possible on the ground.
Should probably have some kind of anti-idiot lock on it anyway, but maybe it did and this was just a particularly clever idiot.
Anti idiot locks would be an emergency situation nightmare.
Everything worked as intended. The only person injured was the idiot, and no one else was at risk. They could have just as easily opened a door on the gate path thingy (no idea what the name is. Connecting the terminal gate to the plane) and yeeted themselves out that way, for the same effect.
Jetway is the word you're looking for
I think it's a jet bridge.
It's ok, I'm a limo driver!
Unless it’s a Boeing 737 Max 9
I thought it was external airflow due to air speed, but it seems like you're right, it's due to cabin pressure.
'on the ground' AKA a door 4.5 metres above the ground
'the ground' AKA solid bitumen
( Might be time to cross-check and arm unused-doors before any passengers board )
I still can't believe this occurred.
I've been wondering why door plugs aren't the same. Shouldn't the pressure hold it closed?
The pressure is going the other direction. The inside of the cabin is a higher pressure than outside. So while it’s designed to have the pressure hold it closed from the inside, if the bolts are loose it will just get pushed all the way out.
Shouldn't the plug be bigger than the hole so it can't be pushed all the way out?
Twss
What other direction? I'm not a moron. Of course there is more pressure inside. It shouldn't need bolts to hold it closed if the pressure is doing it. The door should only open inwards.
