This has been known about for several years...and good old Youtube have allowed this video to run and so 'give people ideas' about how to crash a Boeing 777

Pilots have complained..to no avail.

 

You don't need guns....bombs/liquids...knives....

 

You can simply use one hatch key...to shut off the radio..the transponder...and open the cockpit door.

 

Once down there..you can shut the hatch so it can't be opened....and 'have a play'...shut down the flight controls if you wish.

 

It's worrying..but as Boeing put it.."It's the cost of doing business"

 

 

 

 

 

Just been to say "Non-stop", a film on a similar theme.

A bit odd having this on now while that plane is still missing ..

Queer then that it has an exemplary safety record?

 

Surely they would be plummeting from the skies on a weekly basis if it was so easy....

Hundreds of 777's flying safely, BA has several.

Just because a loophole hasn't been exploited doesn't mean there's no loophole.

Then you will realise the true purpose of the video??

I've no idea how accurate the video is, I was just pointing out the assumption often made that because there has been no mishap to date, there is no risk.

I know - I was just pointing out the possible ulterior motive of the video maker....

Yeah I know! But the intention of the maker is irrelevant to my point that a potential risk can be nipped in the bud before it becomes an actual event rather than just relying on past safety records.

I think it's fake....

I do hope you're right.

 

I think it's fake....

And if it isn't fake hopefully it will motivate Boeing into doing something about it........

The creator of the video is a pilot, there's some reference to it on Pprune here: http://www.pprune.org/8365511-post1560.html

It looks like the video is promoting the sale of an after market lock for the hatch!

 

Why isn't one fitted as standard

I'm sorry, I don't know. Why don't you ask Boeing?

The following video shows that access can be gained from sensitive areas of an aircraft from the passenger cabin while in flight. So after all the changes since 9/11, with screening and restricted items being on board, this would seem to be something that requires attention to prevent a repeat of those events. Around 3000 aircraft estimated to be affected. The fix is simple, so why not apply it?

Matt Wuillemin: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/matthew-wuillemin/15/298/35b has a patent out for a door catch?:

Australia 2011902182: http://www.ipaustralia.com.au/applicant/wuillemin-matthew-mr/patents/AU2011902182/ which seems to be something to do with floor coverings

 

So, he has a vested interest in creating a need

 

I do not know if the scenario he describes is true, discussion on Pprune suggests that the circuit breakers he is referring to are actually somewhere else in the 'plane

 

His style of writing suggests to me that he is a bit of an arse
