Plane crashes, overturns during landing at Toronto...
Holy shit, that was just pure luck that no one end up dead. Based on the video, the plane glide-flipped just enough to slide/roll itself out of the major fire. Things could be a whole lot worse if it played out just slightly differently.

In this case more like drop, roll and stop.

I was thinking this, and also if the airframe had warped enough to prevent the doors opening (maybe this is impossible?).

I'm hoping that's a design consideration!

Boeing solved it by leaving the bolts out of the doors.
