a passenger of a SpiceJet flight from Mumbai to Bengaluru city - typically a 105-minute journey - was stuck inside the tiny bathroom for over an hour, and the flight crew was unable to do anything to get the door to open.
Why are the bathroom doors not simply designed with a door lock that can be bypassed, unlocked, removed, or replaced, by a simple easy to use mechanism which spares would be on hand for the airliner crew to grab?
It happens too often in the news that someone locks the bathroom door and doesn't want it to be opened by the airline crew, or that the door mechanism fails, and the person inside the bathroom can not escape.
This is outrageous. We have robots on Mars for Pete's sake, obviously the technology exists, the engineering is available, and there are enough smart people on the planet to figure out a better door design
