Bad Week for Airbus

Admittedly, this doesn't eradicate the message (in fact it rather
elucidats it). I was on a flight once where the announcement went
something like, "If anyone has not existed on this planet for the
last 100 years and doesn't know how to buckle and unbuckle their
seatbelt, please raise your hand."

:-)

As of making fun of the safety issues, I'm all for it, as it will make ist
stick more.

Explosive decompression is very rare (and very different from rapid
decompression), but when it occurs, many deaths occur due to direct
physical trauma from differences in air pressure. Ruptured hearts and
lungs are not unusual. This was seen in the early accidents with the
Comet, which actually did explosively decompress on several occasions
when defects in its construction yielded at altitude.



Wrong again, moron.

Going from a short exposure of low pressure to a longer period of

It will, however, add a bit more gas in solution to the blood and body
tissues.


nope

Why would you have to do that? If you put your mask on first, the
children will all survive.



what children You'll neve rhave children and you will never fly.

Sorry, Bertie: exposure to higher ambient pressures does in fact drive
gasses into solution in our blood and tissue. See Strong's Physical
Chemistry text (God, I'm dating myself -- that might have been
published in the 60s!).

Jeez. Mixedup does it again.

FYI The Comets broke up through metal fatigue because of a faulty
square window/hatch design.
The explosive decompression was accompanied with a sudden stop at sea
level
This proved fatal

I understand mx being wrong even when he happens to be correct. It's
the principle of the thing.


I will retract and correct the scoring, based on that.
