I believe it is Greece, the country they left. From what I recall of customs rules, you are considered to be in the country you left until you pass customs in the new country (though on the ground I suspect you'd be subject to their laws anyway).

There was a CNN story about this today; I'm too lazy to go find it, but I got the impression that the Germans were the ones pressing charges.

What I don't understand is that their identities aren't being released -- unusual, given that they're adults.

They must be daughters of the elite. Next time they should just tell them how to open the door.

Send them back to Greece. I've heard heterosexuality is rife in Greek prisons

There's no way they could open the door anyway.

Brits can't hold their liquor. What else is new?

I remember reading somewhere that, due to the air pressure differential, it's physically impossible to open a jetliner's door in flight.

Nevertheless, these two women should be made to post on 'Poly, so that we can ridicule them properly.

At their altitude, it'd take 2,500 pounds of pressure to dislodge the door.

Well, with the obesity on the rampant, two british chicks could probably do that, though, your number only applies for inward opening doors - outward should probably demand less.

The outwardly opening doors on all jetliners work on a "plug" principle -- they pull in, then they swing open. They won't "pull in" at high altitudes, and therefore they won't open.

Cargo doors are a different manner, but they are not accessible by passengers.

That's why they should fit airlocks, so they can go and open the door without disturbing anyone else. And hopefully getting sucked out in the process
