Let me ouuuuttttttttt
So many people are just such pacifist.
Yeah bro go ahead open the door on the plane. No no one is going to try and stop you. Why would we do that. I rather die than deal with conflict.
Name is too close to Oceanic for me to ever buy a ticket on that airline.
Thank god the plane was landing, I think if you open the door at 30k feet it'd crash the plane.
The article said that if they had been higher up, the door wouldn't have been able to open because of air pressure. I don't know if that's true or not, but I'm going to tell myself it is.
As long as you’re able to exert 80000 pounds of force opening the door mid flight is no problem
What would happen if someone got the door open that high though?
Biggest danger is someone being pulled out, or potentially sucked out of the opening. Oxygen masks would drop from above, so as long as everyone can stay in their seats (always wear your seatbelt!) and get that in place, the pilots would immediately descend to a safe altitude and get on the ground ASAP. It would be a breezy ride like shown in the video, but as long as nobody falls through the open door (which would be difficult, if not impossible to open at altitude in the first place) then it's not a critical issue.
A real life comparison would be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aloha_Airlines_Flight_243, the damage in the photos is pretty impressive.
In this incident, the entire top of the plane was ripped off due to a structural defect, and unfortunately a flight attendant, who was not seated since she was serving passengers, was sucked out of the plane. Even with this catastrophic failure of the fuselage, and the loss of an engine (I presume because the electronics failed or something from the giant hole), there was not an immediate threat to the airworthiness of the aircraft, and the pilots landed safely.
Wow that's amazing, would have thought you'd die in that scenario.
You don't hear too much about the crashes where people survive:
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Air_Lines_Flight_1141 - Plane got up to 400 feet after takeoff and then came back down. 94 survivors, 14 dead, primarily to smoke inhalation
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Airlines_Flight_173- Plane ran out of fuel on landing, crashes in the woods in the middle of the city, 179 survivors, 10 dead
I find them as interesting as the ones that are horrifying.
maybe somebody nearby had farted one too many times.
The wicked CCP brainwashed controlled madman opened the door mid-flight!
Perhaps he was wondering why you'd shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane?
