I think the people who worry about getting sucked out of an airplane by
decompression are the same sort of people who had childhood fears about
being sucked down by the bathtub drain or getting sucked up by the vacuum
cleaner. Such fears are irrational, Hollywood plays up to them, but they

are
there nonetheless.


Hey, not so fast!

MB only proved that a bullet through an aircraft fuselage, aircraft window,
or even losing an entire window wouldn't cause explosive decompression. They
didn't cover getting sucked down a bathtub drain or sucked up by a vacuum
cleaner yet. Maybe next episode =D
