COCKPIT ATTACK | Episode 3: The Door - A Plumber, a Dentist and the Man From Seat 3C

A dramatized thriller. Names, characters, the airline and many details are fictional. Thirty-one seconds into the dive, the cockpit door is unlocked — and it still won't open, because the wounded captain is lying against it. On the other side, a man who has spent twenty years asking himself what his first move would be finally gets to find out. Behind him, a plumber climbs the length of the cabin hand over hand along the overhead bins. A dentist who hasn't thought about a tourniquet in fifteen years climbs after him. A deadheading captain with twenty-two thousand hours and bad knees gets out of her seat, because whatever is happening up front, nobody is flying the airplane. And when the nose finally comes up, everything that has been floating in that cabin comes down at once.Episode 3 of 5. New episode every day.
