Hey everyone! I was watching the Air Emergency episode about the ASA EMB-120 that crash landed in a field. And in one shot, they were sweeping the camera down a line of ASA 120's in ATL, and the boarding doors were down. Except that instead of being on the left hand side like they normally, are, they were on the right hand side of the aircraft! And I have checked in my thought a billion times, to make sure that I wasn't just confused since the plane was facing me, but it really was on the right hand side! Does anyone have an explanation for it being on the right? I know it wouldn't affect the cabin configuration all that much, just switch it, but I thought all aircraft had their boarding doors on their left? Well, class starts in 7 minutes, better get going, thanks in advance!

No, the only boarding door is on the LH side. There is a large emergency exit on the RH aft side, just behind the wing. The only thing I can think it might have been is the video was shown in reverse.
