FWIW, tomorrow (Friday) night on The Discovery Channel's "Myth Busters"
program, one of their projects is rapid decomp of an airliner.


Will somebody summarize the findings here, for the sake of us pathetic
losers with antennas in the attic?

The urban myth in question was that a passenger heard a funny noise coming from
the window. He summoned a stewardess who leaned forward to listen and was blown
through the window when it blew. Supposedly she exited the window like
"toothpaste from a tube."

The show has experts, altitude chambers etc all of which proved it could never
happen.
