Interesting idea... it would also greatly help the TV news folks, who depend heavily on people having died in unnatural fashions for their ratings.

is that likely to be the fuel line to the APU getting ruptured? Or just gin from the cart?

There's a difference?

As usual, multple pax interviewed thought they were going to die in a situation about as dangerous as taking your dog for a walk...

Wow! It seems like just maybe, following proper procedures at certain times can be important.

Off topic but I think that you will all enjoy this

Never mind the force on your body due to the pressure difference inside vs. outside the plane, once you're stuck in the opening.

9 PSI times... what's the surface area of an airliner window? Say the window is 10" x 12", that's 120 square inches times 9 PSI, that's 1080 lbs. of force.

Presumably this is not the case on WN (their flights are still general admission, right?) but there would be some massive irony here if the passenger in question had paid extra for a window seat.

I wonder how much difference it would make? I'm not being sarcastic, I really do wonder. Unbelted your body gets pulled toward the window, your head probably goes outside the plane, and you get to experience a X00 MPH slipstream, low atmospheric pressure, and below-zero temps. Plus air trying to exi...

CNN:

Flight information provided by FlightRadar24 showed the plane went from approximately 30,000 feet to 13,000 feet in five minutes.

And... wait for it... pax are describing this 3,400 FPM descent as a "free fall".

Sucked pax did died.

This kind of engines explode when you shut off the wrong engine, Or don't they?

Uh... no?

Is "exploded engine" one of the standard reasons for photo rejection there?

Seems a Southwest Fokker CRJ-2747 had a little engine boo-boo just now: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/southwest- ... m-updates/

How about this?

Sorry, not acceptable, it's backlit.

If it's not Lockheed, I'm not going.

Yeah I've got no problem with giving the oil all the help it needs to keep the engine happy. Apparently it just needs a little help staying out of the cabin.
