Branson Livingstone Saftey Changes

Virgin Atlantic Captain Ian Belmore shows the new reinforced cockpit door of one of the airline's Boeing 747 aicraft that was being renamed The Spirit of New York at London's Heathrow Airport. * Sir Richard Branson, the Virgin Atlantic chairman, said the armour-plated cockpit door was a necessary safety change after the September 11 suicide hijackings which destroyed the World Trade Centre and part of the Pentagon. In an effort to defy anyone trying to take over control of the aeroplane the doors are bullet, heat and shockproof and have digital locks. In addition, closed circuit television will help to ensure that only authorised staff gain entrance to the flight deck. (Photo by Sean Dempsey - PA Images/PA Images via Getty Images)
