Closest was the failure of the cargo door on a cargo jet. It is my understanding that even if a door failed, it would not compromise the ability of a commercial jet to fly. It would be uncomfortable as heck for the passengers, but the structural integrity of the plane would not be in jeopardy.rk911 wrote:Not necessarily.Mile High wrote:Chum lee wrote::) I agree
If you really believed that your life was in eminent danger, would you get into a motor home, or any other form of transportation? Please, . . . . a little dramatic don't ya think?

A 737-900 has 8 exit doors, but somehow that never really offered me any confidence I was going to live!
better to have it than not.
If we are talking airplanes, many commercial airliners have hit the dirt as a result of door failures, so their surviving families would probably disagree with you.
On the MH I would be indifferent as to whether it was there or not, as long as I had some form of escape window. If it resulted in compromises to storage or other features, I would probably sacrifice the door for the other feature.
Without putting words in OP's mouth, my take was that the exits referred to in his (maybe slightly sarcastic) given scenario, may not be worth anything at all, no matter how many there are.
Search: Wikipedia Aloha Airlines Flight 243 April 26, 1988 It's not a door failure specifically, it's more a major structural failure. In that case the roof of the aircraft becomes the door, well, . . . . more like a skylight. Many injuries, but, only 1 fatality. Aircraft landed safely.
With regard to exits on airplanes, there have been numerous incidents of agitated passengers trying to open exits at very inopportune times. Clearly, a life threatening event in itself. I don't have any specific cases to cite, but, I'm sure they are out there if you look.
