Always scary when you see a man trying to break into the cockpit … especially when it’s the pilot

Posted by Adam on August 31st, 2006

In mid-flight, the pilot of a Canadian airliner got up to use the restroom and left the co-pilot to fly the plane. When he finished and tried to go back into the cockpit, the door was jammed. He then spent the next 10 minutes banging on the door and talking to the co-pilot over an internal phone system. Finally the door had to be removed.

Would have been hilarious if some upstanding citizen in first class awoke to see the pilot bang on the door the first time and tackled him, thinking a hijacker disguised himself as a pilot.
