Analysts suggest passengers on the flight would have experienced almost zero gravity for around 15 to 25 seconds as the plane dropped rapidly.

This wouldn't be possible for a US airline. The cockpit would be locked with no way to enter it from outside and everybody would have died.

    Crew can enter an override code to unlock the cockpit, if the override is not canceled.

    I think in this case, they were able to gain access because the cockpit door was opened momentarily.
