I can't think of a single door to any home, apartment, etc. that I've ever seen that opens out instead of in.
Gonna go ahead and say this is fake.
Door opens inwards, look at the frame. The box is not blocking the door from moving but blocking the handle from turning and opening the door. Dont know if it real but its possible.
You’re gonna need to think about what is preventing them from opening the door my friend.
You’re absolutely correct though, the door opens in so it isn’t just acting like a door stop.
restarted?
My… my door opens out.
Me too. Because it was owned by a police officer previously. Door can't be kicked in. Bad for fire safety though.
It's fake, but that's not why. The package is blocking the door handle from turning, so it doesn't matter which way the door opens, trying to will jam the handle up on the package.
It's fake because this is the inside of the door, not the outside. Notice the lock for the deadbolt.
I was about to reply that the reason they were trapped was because the door handle was blocked by the package, not because it was holding the door shut.... but you're right, this photo was taken inside the dwelling.
(As also evidenced by the deadbolt mechanism another poster noted)
