Florida man is a fucking pussy for getting that wasted off one beer.

Who knows, it might have even been a root beer.

This is the problem with having these sorts of devices available to all: they are prone to abuse. Having to smash some guy over the head with the cellar's best (or worst, take your pick) is rather desperate and not timely.
This imbecile could have caused a far larger issue than he had had he been successful.

He's still getting acclimated to his new host body after blowing up his previous one earlier in the week.

Reading the article, I was wondering just how deep into trouble you'll get once the plane has made its emergency landing and ...
... yeah. Do not do something stupid on a plane. Ever.
Though I wonder, can you open the doors on such a plane when it's in mid-flight? I always wondered if there is a lock or if it's really just flipping that huge lever to pop open that sucker.
On one hand, the cabin-pressure inside is bigger than the outside air-pressure, but then again, airflow surrounding the plane might just push the door shut.
Whenever I am in a plane and come past such a door, I can't help but wonder what would happen if you pull the lever, since there's nothing to really prevent you from doing it.

Most cabin doors are designed so that you first have to pull the door inward to disengage a secondary latch so that you can then push it outward. There's no way you're pulling that door inward when the cabin is pressurized an the aircraft is at altitude. I don't think 5 people could manage to do it.
But what you might be able to do is damage or jam the door mechanism, which could be a huge safety problem and an unbelievable headache once the aircraft lands.

Even if you just barely manage to jimmy that door open wide enough to lose cabin pressure it would be catastrophic. The plane would have to immediately go to a lower altitude and I assume if that happens halfway across the atlantic or pacific, you're hosed.
But thanks for the information, I always thought there must be some system in place...

You couldn't. Those doors have huge seals that compress further on the initial pull in. They're designed very well. But really the main problem in loss of cabin pressure is people losing consciousness. On total loss of cabin pressure at altitude, you'd have about 20-30 seconds of useful awareness before you lost consciousness. That's why those O2 masks are above everyone's seat, and why they drill it into your head during the pre-flight safety briefing to affix your own mask before helping your kid put theirs on; If you get your kid's mask on and then black out, it's less likely that the kid's going to be able to help you. The pilots have hardier masks that are designed to be donned quickly. The pilots would then descend to a lower altitude and make arrangements for an emergency landing at the nearest open airfield. (if they are trans-Atlantic or Pacific flight then they'd have to declare an emergency and keep it under 10,000 feet for the rest of the flight.) It would suck, but the flight-worthiness of the aircraft isn't really compromised if cabin pressure is lost.

I know, but the cruising abilities of a plane depend on how high it flies. At sealevel, I doubt a passenger plane would get enough mileage out of their fueltanks to traverse an ocean like the pacific.

They should have enough to reach the nearest airfield. Whether that means turning around or diverting. Trans-ocean flights are actually planned out pretty well with these kinds of scenarios in mind, and they always carry extra fuel.

Florida Man and his damned crazy-ass shenanigans. I wonder when the TV series is.

Once you get to altitude there is no way, barring a one-in-a-million structural failure, that a cabin door will open. It doesn't matter how hard you pull on the handle. They are inward-opening "plug" doors designed so that they will only open once the pressure inside the plane is lower or equal to that on the outside, and that simply cannot happen since air pressure outside the plane is always going to be lower at cruising altitude. It's a fail safe in case someone like Florida Man is on the plane and actually tries to do it. There were several nasty accidents involving the DC-9 airliner early in its flying career because the cargo doors were NOT designed failsafe, they were outward opening, and due to a fault of the design of the door locks COULD open in flight.
Not to be all autistic, but this is one of those things that Hollywood consistently gets wrong, like guns going off if you drop them or cars exploding if you shoot a handgun at one, and your average person, not knowing any better, believes.
Now, you still shouldn't DO it because it's a dangerous violation of common sense, but the idea that you could actually cause an explosive/decompression catastrophe is pretty much nil.

There is something at least a little comforting in knowing that his intention to murder a planeload of people was laughably ineffectual from the start.
