IIRC, they don't pressurize until about 10,000 feet.  In any case, this is all getting pretty silly.

Me go now.

DC-8's and 9's were like in the video only they had one handle, not a Tee like the Boeing doors.  Also, neither had built-in stairs.  We had a portable stair case on wheels that we used.   
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.
