Yes I read about this. Aren't the doors locked until they are on the ground?

The doors are plug type which means the door is physically too big to fit through the door way; to get it out you have to turn it wideways. Sp basically, they have over a thousand pounds of air pressure FORCING the door to STAY shut. So it's physically impossible to open when the plane is pressurised.
