Northwest Airlines, Inc., 10065 Eden Prairie Road, Eden Prairie, Minnesota, advised as follows:
Flight 305, which was hijacked on November 24, 1971, involved a Boeing 727, a tri-jet. As you stand in front of the rear stairs facing the pilots cockpit, there are panels which open on the right and left sides of the aircraft. These panels can be opened and the panel on the right side has sufficient room for two average-sized males. The panel on the left side has sufficient room for one average male.
However, these panels cannot be entered unless the stairs are 100 per cent down. In his opinion these panels could not be entered at all while the aircraft is in flight; even though the stairs are partially decended.
Under the best conditions while the aircraft is on the ground, it is a difficult matter for an individual with- out assistance to enter these panels and then re-close the doors. In his opinion, it would be practically impossible for the unknown subject to have entered and concealed himself in either one of these compartments.
