shift-E shouldn't open a door -- FS9 is incorrect.. also, the wind outside "air pushing on it" should have no effect either (there is really no
outside air pushing on it). the door is pushed from the inside out by cabin pressure. there is a tremendous amount of pressure
differential in an airliner at high altitude, all supplied by bleeds on the compressor stages of the engines.
for a door, figure 6 feet by 3 feet by 8 psi, I figure somewhere around 20,000 lbs of force keeping the door closed.
