LOL.
As a passenger it’s accurate. As the pilot, no way.

I thought you were supposed to put the mask over your mouth and nose? These folks just have it over their mouths.

Depending on their current flight plan and ceiling. Some commercial jets and FAA regulations prevent the pilot from taking it to PJ heights (40k+). Also depends on the height of the storm.
Pilots will look at the radar and find pockets that are best to cut through, doesn't look like they did that based on reactions.

I'm speaking in terms of a passenger. When people travel by plane, they aren't usually the ones at the controls. You're an exception. So no, it isn't "patently" false. And I come from a FAMILY of pilots. That doesn't mean shite.

Glad you figured that out. You'd hope that the guy flying the plane would have been able to put two and two together.

Nah. I'll take leaning against the window/cabin over a middle or aisle seat every day. If I happen to get sucked out of the plane in a freak accident, my double indemnity will kick in for the family.



I meant more where the engine parts would hit me.

Plus I pee way too much to have a window seat.

I'd say probably severe shock, internal problems, and the fact she supposedly got sucked out a fkn tiny window (yes, I know, she didn't fly away).


Is that what first comes to your mind? I'm thinking that whatever hunk of metal that blew through 2 pieces of plexiglass hit her next, with catastrophic results.

unless there was a licensed physician on board, that pronounced her dead, then she didn't die on the airplane, that's the way that works

Was it the woman who sucked out the window or a different passenger getting hit by debris that got killed?

Not for nothing but both of the SW planes that had these engine failures had frequent routes to and from MSY.
