What started this is your continued assertion that rapid decompression is
no
big deal, in spite of there having been related fatalities, and rather
substantial injuries as noted in the Aer Lingus case.

No, go back and see what I said in the first place. I said a blown out
window
would not be catastrophic.

No, you went beyond that, saying: "It would still be only annoying. A few
ear aches and a lot of noise along
with oxygen masks dropping. The person sitting next to the window might lose
his reading material or dinner." "Only annoying..."?


I have been unable to find a single case of a blown out window being
catastrophic.

To the individual sucked out, whether partially or totally (see the other
posters' comments regarding another case where an individual was reportedly
completely ejected), that statement might appear sort of minimalist, to say
the least.
