re: In a window exit seat on Alaska Airlines. How screwed am I?

quote:

If you get sucked out at 38,000 feet it will take about 4 minutes to reach the ground.

The first 20 seconds will be terrifying. Then you'll pass out.

Then you'll wake back up passing 10,000 feet and get to enjoy the scenery on your last minute or so of life.

I’d like to think the shock and fear would just give me a fatal heart attack before I initially passed out.
