Airliner diverted as secure cockpit door locks pilot out mid-flight

“An Air India flight to Bangalore was diverted to another city after the pilot returned from a toilet break and found the door to the cockpit jammed shut, the state-run carrier says. The flight left Delhi but the plane had to be diverted to Bhopal in central India when the pilot realised he could not get back to the controls. ‘The commander of the flight had left the cockpit for a short while to visit the toilet and on returning to the cockpit found the door locked,’ Air India said in statement. It said that ‘all efforts to open the door, even from inside by the co-pilot, failed’. The co-pilot was forced to diverted the flight to Bhopal where the door was repaired.”
