There seems to be no official report about this disaster on-line. The airlines.net forums offer some interesting additional reasons -- not found elsewhere -- for why the doors were not opened. It is said there that the cabin pressure was still set for the landing at Jeddah (sea level), and the outflow valve was damaged by the fire, keeping the cabin pressure a bit too high -- enough so that you wouldn't be able to open the doors. It's also said that the FA would wait for the engines to be turned off before opening the doors. The first part (pressure reason) sounded authoritative but a forum is not a good source so need another source for that... --GregU 03:50, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proper Title

The title of the page shouldn't be "Saudia Flight 163". Use the proper name, "Saudi Arabian Airlines Flight 163". There surely is space to fit that in. 202.95.200.12 05:41, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
