Good, it's only out of sheer luck that nobody was sitting close enough to get sucked out mid-flight. On a full flight people would have died.

- userbinator 3y agoIf you look at the widely-circulated video, someone was sitting one seat over next to the hole. I believe seatbelt use is what prevented them from being forcibly expelled from the aircraft. This is another event that shows why keeping your seatbelt on whenever you're in the seat is a good idea.

- throwway120385 3y agoI'm going to stop asking the flight attendants to open a window for fresh air from now on.
- pauljurczak 3y agoWhy open a window if you can open a door...

- hef19898 3y agoIt still covered by wearing a seatbelt, you onow, ad one of those things were a seatbelt helps. I mean you cannot wear it while for turbulances and simultaniously not wear it in case the door next to you blows out. Schroedinger's seatbelt is not a real thing.
- rd11235 3y agoWhat causes comments like this one to get faded out? I guess many people flagged it? Isn’t it just a logical statement?
- Larrikin 3y agoNo, he is being down voted for trying to be a smart ass. The OP never said the main reason you should wear your seat belt is so you don't get sucked out the side of the airplane, just that massive plane construction failure is a reason. I remember an awful incident some years ago, where the roof of the plane came off when landing and everyone but a flight attendant lived because they were preparing to land. The flight attendant was in the aisle checking seat belts and preparing for landing and sadly was sucked out of the plane. Also the only way to win the lottery is to play.
- wolverine876 3y agoI can see how it would be taken that way. My point was that it's not a risk at all, in any meaningful sense; people are way overreacting to the risk of these events affecting them individually (not to Boeing's potential manufacturing issues). > Also the only way to win the lottery is to play. Seriously? The way to 'win' the lottery is to not play. I mean, have some fun if you like, but don't play for profit.
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 3y agoIt was faded before because its score was <1. As far as I know, flagging a post doesn't do that; enough flags will [flagged] the post and even more flags will [dead] the post.
- rightbyte 3y agoI think there was a window that broke on some flight and the passenger next to the window died from hitting the window frame.
- epolanski 3y agoI'm not sure he would've with seat belts on. At a higher altitude and higher pressure difference, without seat belts, 100%. But few miles in the air with seat belts there's not going to be a decompression that will strap you out of your seat belts.
