[QUOTE]Daallo Airlines Airbus A321 had taken off from the Somali capitol of Mogadishu Tuesday and was at 10,000 feet and climbing when an explosion punched a hole in the plane's fuselage. In a nightmare scenario for anyone who has ever traveled by plane, one passenger was apparently sucked through the hole. [/QUOTE]
Fuck. I couldn't imagine this.
Is there anything explosive in the side of a passenger jet? Surely it was a bomb, and the guy who got pulled out was the one who detonated?
Just speculating of course.

They said there was residue in one of the sources I posted.
Hi, childhood nightmare, what are you doing existing in reality?
I couldn't even imagine something like this happening by accident though. Definitely some sort of explosive involved.
Video right after the explosion

that hole indicates the explosion is more than alleged
Fuck, I'm glad the explosion didn't cause anything else to happen. What nightmare fuel, RIP to the person who experienced true terror falling without a parachute (unless he/she caused the explosion)
I can't imagine all the thoughts going through your head if you were on that plane and that happened, I'd probably be saying my last goodbyes

Those people seem very calm about the situation
Planes can handle a lot more than you'd think and that also involves giant holes.

Somehow I don't think the very violent act of being sucked from a pressurized vessel through a hole that just exploded it's way into existence is a thing you will be doing while still conscious.
[QUOTE=Tacooo;49671551]Those people seem very calm about the situation[/QUOTE]
Most likely because they were not far from the airport they took off from. it happened 5 minutes after takeoff.

Even if it was, you would lose consciousness very very quickly at those altitudes. Well before you hit, or even come close, to the ground.
A famous example of a similar thing would be aloha flight 243

10x more worse tho and was caused when 2 cracks practically came together and lifted up the roof, the plane was flyable but they lost hydraulics iirc
if you got sucked out of the plane you would faint instantly, your death would be painless

10,000 feet isn't that high, hell many places around the US are >10,000 feet. It would honestly come down the rapid decompression knocking them out which would be questionable.

This was at 10,000 feet, or 3,000 m. Nowhere near high enough to make you pass out immediately. Of course, you might pass out from the shock of getting ripped out of your seat. Speaking of which, unless the seat was structurally compromised, the passenger shouldn't have been sucked out unless he wasn't wearing a seatbelt.

seats and even seat belts are not designed to withstand cyclonic speed and wind, you will be lifted out
all these articles about planes crashing and exploding made me not want to fly to places anymore :-(

Your chances of being in a fatal or serious car crash are so much greater than an airplane crash/incident. Yes, they happen, however your chances are stupidly low compared to dying any other way.

Just don't fly to dangerous places.

Not if I tighten it really well!
you guys are talking like just being sucked out is the defining factor in what would or would not have knocked out a guy who was directly next to an explosion strong enough to rip that hole open in the first place
given the passengers comfortably vacated that far forward/back after it happened, the seating was pretty sparsely populated in the first place and the guy was probably sitting by himself over there, which would be why there weren't other injuries just from the explosion alone. If there was a bomb, it was likely that guy's doing anyways
I'm just glad from the video, that the passengers were cool and collected about it (though I'm betting the youtube comments are gonna have the usual "lol those idiots are too busy updating their twitter with their phones to appreciate how lucky they are" interpretations). Half of my fears of shitty public incidents is people just screaming, being panicky and raising tensions. God even in high school the lights being turned off by surprise was enough to cause a pack of girls to shreik reactively for several seconds
Is it even possible to get sucked out of a plane? Wouldn't the airflow more than likely just go past the hole?

I was once told by an airhostess that the reason they ask you to fasten your seat belts is so in the event of a crash they can identify you easier by keeping your body in your seat.
[QUOTE=Tacooo;49671551]Those people seem very calm about the situation[/QUOTE]
Too busy worrying about breathing

wat?? so are you saying that the difference from the high pressure environment of the plane to the low pressure environment of the high altitude atmosphere doesn't make sense as a reason for him being sucked out?

That is cold dude, but I am sure that there is more than one reason for airlines asking passengers to fasten their seat belts.

pretty sure being sucked out of an ascending airplane, hypoxia would have rendered them unconscious after a few seconds and they wouldn't have regained consciousness before they hit the ground
Its so if the airplane makes a sudden dive or sharp maneuver (such as suddenly descending to 10k feet) you don't come lose and bounce around the cabin.
Keep your seat belt on :smile:

cold or not, that's one of several pretty valid reasons to buckle up in a bad situation. It's not like buckling up is gonna kill you harder than being a meat missile floating uncontrollably through the cabin. In the very least, you stay attached to a slightly cushy thinger!

Travel via car is way more dangerous than flying.
