@the_argentinian for one, there was clearly also an engine problem, and two, i don't think you're able to open plane doors mid-flight but i could be mistaken.

@sintriangle No problem to open the doors in a small non-pressurized aircraft, like this Cessna 180. Also, she was practically at sea level, so the pressure difference would have been negligible anyway. However, I'm guessing that, since she was a beginner, she didn't have the plane fully trimmed out, and so she would probably have lost control of the plane while wrestling with the door and the burning teddy-bear. With her low altitude, anything this serious of a problem is probably an almost guaranteed crash. And this: you don't learn how to land a plane by reading the manual.
