It's indeed a ridiculous premise, but no less ridiculous than the more-recent book and movie "The Martian", where a wind storm on Mars is the initial event that triggers all the following drama. (The atmospheric pressure on Mars is 1/200 that of Earth's; there's no way any kind of wind storm there would have any significant effect on people.)

- hackeraccount 3y agoI know it's hard to rate these things but I'm still reluctant to agree that both plot devices were equally ridiculous.
