Yes, obviously I realize there was an axe on board. I'm just saying it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to lock the door and then have a convenient axe to bust it down with. Seriously, for what other "safety" reason would you need an axe on an airplane?

I suspect if, in an emergency landing..the doors can’t open, or the escape chutes won’t deploy..or to punch open a window..

You do realize that in a hard landing most of the doors will not open?

On the other hand it doesn’t appear that the Ax was effective in breaking down the door now was it?

I can think of one - if the plane is on fire and the doors are too hot to escape - then an axe could cut another opening for the passengers. Just a thought.
