I have no idea what door this particular plane had except that I believe that it had to be the newer reinforced doors that all the US planes have now.

Kinda curious here if you're allowed to talk about that. Is there like a button the crew can press requesting to enter the cockpit that will automatically unlock the door if there is no response in X minutes? Is it somehow hooked up to a pilot's heart rate?
