tried does not equal
succeeded. Seems to me she tried to open the door, but didn't manage to actually do it.
and this quote from the yahoo article shows what actually happened.
Quote:
She was travelling on a flight from Hong Kong to Brisbane on Saturday when she walked towards one of the aircraft's emergency exits with an unlit cigarette and a lighter in her hand and began tampering with the door.
A flight attendant intervened and took her back to her seat.

So she didnt' even manage to unlatch the door to get to the part where she found out the door won't open with a 600mph wind rushing by outside.
