You mean the blown engine with possible damage to the wing and a hole in the plane? Nah, fam. Easy peasy.


The fact that you think a window size hole in the side of the fuselage is going to affect the performance of the plane makes me question why I'm even talking to you. Cabin pressure (or lack thereof) is there entirely to keep what's inside the plane safe. Has nothing to do with the flight performance of the plane. The pressure will equalize quickly if a hole forms and the plane from a mechanically standpoint is right as rain again.

At 10k ft that's fine, but at 30k ft, it could cause an explosion. Good lord.
