It's amazing that the pilot and a.t.c. were intune with each other and very calm. They let their training take over for sure. Good on their part.

I thought myth busters debunked this


No they tested the theory that a small hole in a plane would create a large hole due to the rapid escape of air due to difference in pressurization. For the myth to be confirmed this wouldn’t be one women half sucked out of window dead this would be 10 passengers sucked to their death as small hole rips side in plane. When they blow out the window exactly what happened to this women happened. AKA this real life event busts the myth a small hole won’t cause an explosion or explosive decompression.

Like this one.

This plane was scheduled to go from Dallas Love to MSY next, then MSY to Oakland. This easily could’ve been a flight full of Louisianians.

In that case, the SWA record would have remained intact as the hole would have been immediately vacuum sealed by the NOLA women’s heavy duty booty with no injuries to anyone.

So I wonder what killed her? She wasn't completely sucked out. Was it the lack of oxygen for too long? Did she have other physical injuries?

It said she was bleeding and that there was blood splattered toward other passengers. They also attempted CPR, to no avail.

Wait, you always get an aisle seat on flights because of the possibility of an engine malfunctioning resulting in the window near you breaking and sucking you halfway out of the plane? Because that happens with such regularity?

The lack of oxygen, trauma from being ripped through a window, and having your body banged against the side of a plane at 600 mph isn't good for your health.

No point in living life on the edge. Window seats are too dangerous. One minute you're enjoying the view, the next you’re being decapitated by a rogue part from an exploded engine!

Sounds like a Surgeon General warning.

Yep. I'm justified for never wanting to sit over the wings.
