FLIMSY COCKPIT DOORS BLAMED FOR TERRORIST TRAGEDY

CLEVELAND (Wireless Flash) – An expert in air rage says flimsy airplane cockpit doors may be partially to blame for the collapse of the World Trade Center. Andrew Thomas says the cockpit doors on U.S. commercial airplanes are so easy to break into that in the past year alone six separate air raging passengers broke down cockpit doors on domestic flights. Thomas believes these air rage incidents “educated” the terrorists responsible for Tuesday’s attacks, showing them just how easy it is to take over a commercial jet’s controls. He says if the attackers hadn’t been able to get past the doors, they wouldn’t have been able to crash the planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Thomas is recommending U.S. air carriers take a tip from Air France and other foreign airlines who already use heavy, bulletproof doors which protect pilots from both terrorists and air rage cases.
