Does he know this for sure? Has he checked every single American Airlines 757?
Flight 77's 757 was built in 1991 (SOURCE), so it was an old plane.

Going to need some more concrete evidence than what Robert Balsamo says.

EDIT: Ah, Ralph Kolstad is another truther, so yeah, definitely going to have to ask for some actual evidence.

IF the door wasn't opened the last 11 flights, what does that prove?
Is it usual, that no one opens the door during flight? The pilots stay in the cabin, the door stays closed, as security regulations probably expect it?
It doesn't 100% prove anything, but it is rather strange that no one left or entered
the cockpit during any of the previous 11 flights. Flight 77 flew from LA to Washington,
that's roughly 3700 kilometers, so we are not talking about short flights.
