US Airways Plane in the Hudson River (Anniversary)

Did the movie describe how at least one passenger in the back disobeyed the flight attendants and managed to open one of the rear doors? That move is what caused a lot of the flooding of the interior.

Obey flight attendants - they are highly trained for YOUR safety
Try not to panic (admittedly, not easy)

I wear work boots that speed lace over the ankle. If I survive a crash, I want to be able to walk/run over treacherous things with my boots on, instead of in my socks or barefooted.

I also use apps that can track my flight in airplane mode, passively picking up GPS signals. Generally have to have a window seat, but it makes flying that much more fun. Can ID things on the ground. And I sure as hell could have told the attendants on that Malaysian flight that for some odd reason we were headed to the middle of the Indian Ocean.

 

Been awhile since I've seen it. Don't recall the thing about the passenger opening the door in the movie, but I could be wrong.
