More Explosive Decompression

Last week we were discussing the possible effect of a bullet piercing
the skin of an airliner at altitude. Oddly enough, last night I saw a
promo for next week's "Mythbusters" show on the Discovery channel.
Apparently, they're going to be conducting some experiments to find
out exactly what effect a bullet will have on a pressurized airliner.

The hosts of the show usually do a pretty good job of simulating the
scenarios that they're investigating, so it should be interesting.
The airliner episode should air next Sunday night on the Discovery
channel.
