[QUOTE=Adlertag1940;45501389]Wasn't there a stewardess whom was sucked out at 35k feet above the north pacific on that flight?[/QUOTE] Yes, and she was the only victim in that incident. But the unlike the decompression and "sucking out" myth we know from the movies and videogames, the real effect only lasts for a fracture of a second, then the pressure normalizes and you fly open air without a roof or without doors. The poor lady must have been standing when the roof came off. But as mentioned above, you will freeze your asses off and faint because of the low oxygen level.

[QUOTE=Riller;45500229]This, along with my own experience flying several times has made me realize just how stupid and nonsensical aircraft security is. You don't need a bomb to take a plane down; just fuckin' book an emergency-exit seat and pull the lever, and BAM, plane's prolly gonna decompress and go right down. Do it with seven friends to get all emergency exits, for extra efficiency. [sp]Really, I'm just butthurt I'm not allowed to bring soda.[/sp][/QUOTE] Pro tip: Bring a bottle of soda that has see through plastic, not a can of soda. When they try to take your soda inform them it is for a medical reason. They can't ask you what that medical reason is and they'll run a test that shines a laser through the bottle (hence clear plastic and not a can) to see what the liquid is. Congratulations, you get to keep your soda. Source: I'm that asshole who tries to take your soda. The only reason we don't allow everyone to do this is because it would take hours to get through security testing everyone's soda. So just say you have low blood sugar and you need it for medical reasons. Anyone who tries to take it after you declare that is not following our operating procedure.
[QUOTE=ultra_bright;45501686]Pilot: You kids better shut the fuck up back there or I SWEARTOGOD, I WILL TURN THIS PLANE AROUND. Passenger: You can't tell me what to do!! Pilot: Don't test me![/QUOTE] That's it, back to Winnipeg

[QUOTE=darkrei9n;45503062]Does anyone even test the soda they sell past security?[/QUOTE] no? because they're selling it, i'm pretty sure if they're selling it they know what the contents are :v:
[QUOTE=Mega1mpact;45500673]Tell them it's a medical liquid. Medical liquids can be anything (including soda) and they are forced to let you keep it. If they ask why just tell them it's none of their buiseness and if they persist tell them you faint if you don't drink enough sugar or some shit. They'll just xray it and let you keep it. This also includes gels, aerosols etc. [url]http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/medically-necessary-liquids-gels-and-aerosols[/url][/QUOTE] No sir, this lube here is entirely for medical reasons
[QUOTE=Mr. Jelly;45503435]No sir, this lube here is entirely for medical reasons[/QUOTE] Also give them a long and detailed explanation on what you intend to do with it.
[QUOTE=ilikecorn;45500956]How pissed do you have to be to say "yea i'm going to blow up the plane". Like seriously, what pissed this guy off so much that he threw a massive hissy fit?[/QUOTE] I'm gonna take a wild guess that he probably has a mental illness.. schizophrenia most likely. [quote]The plane landed safely at Pearson airport around 8:55 a.m. and was met by authorities who stormed the plane carrying automatic weapons and shouting at passengers to get their “heads down” and their “hands up.”[/quote] Over the top much? Must've scared the crap out of the kids on board.
[QUOTE=fruxodaily;45502413]That's it, back to Winnipeg[/QUOTE] The horror!
[QUOTE=Mitsudigi;45503707]Over the top much? Must've scared the crap out of the kids on board.[/QUOTE] Terroristic threats aren't taken lightly by law enforcement.
[QUOTE=darkrei9n;45503062]Does anyone even test the soda they sell past security?[/QUOTE] Yes. And its very annoying when vendors come through to restock with their pallets and pallets of drinks. If they're bringing a boxcutter to open their shipments, that has to be checked in with a supervisor and kept track of.
Imagine being a passenger, and some unruly guy on the plane caused enough trouble to warrant two F-16 Fighter jets to fly along side you. You do know what those planes are there for, right? Not a great deal of comfort to be had
[QUOTE=Ninja Gnome;45500694]what the fuck are the f16s going to do if he had a bomb on the plane[/QUOTE] Blow it up before the terrorists can.

Or is it commonplace enough that I could probably do it on a flight out of Denmark? Not that I'd want to since it just means extra time.
[QUOTE=Adlertag1940;45501389]Wasn't there a stewardess whom was sucked out at 35k feet above the north pacific on that flight?[/QUOTE] Yeah, and there's a myth about her head leaving a perfect imprint in her blood on the side of the fuselage. I doubt it's true but there's photos. Her body was never found This plane was lucky. There's been plenty that have crashed due to explosive decompression, even one that was caused by similar circumstances as this one. 21 or so that have killed all on board, and about as many that have killed at least some, or none at all

[QUOTE=cucumber;45506853]Airplane emergency exit doors dont work that way. there are altitude sensors in them which only unlocks door when the plane is low enough (probably 20-30 metres).[/QUOTE] Even if they didn't, you wouldn't be able to open them anyway.

On my trip home from my summer internship I was going through security at an airport and realized I had forgotten to transfer my bathroom bag to my suitcase before I checked it. So it goes through the x-ray and the lady behind the machine gets this really angry look on her face. She stops it at the other end, asks me if there's anything bad in the bag, and I tell her about how it's my bathroom stuff, how I forgot to transfer the bag, and that she can remove whatever she needs to so I can keep going, as my flight was leaving soon and I didn't have time to go back to the front of the airport and send the banned items by mail. She opens it up to look inside, takes my half empty bottle of shampoo, and zips it back up satisfied that she has prevented an international air disaster. I then take the bag back, with my two straight razors still in it and catch my flight.

Bad officer right there with bad habits. And to answer the question about Danish security above, yes, I can only speak for TSA policy and not foreign security.
[QUOTE=Mingebox;45516412]Even if they didn't, you wouldn't be able to open them anyway.[/QUOTE] why not? even positive air pressure inside the cabin would automatically open the door only if you pull the lever.
[QUOTE=cucumber;45518789]why not? even positive air pressure inside the cabin would automatically open the door only if you pull the lever.[/QUOTE] Someone mentioned that they open from the inside. The pressure differential between inside and outside would keep the door sealed shut the same way the pressure differential prevents you from opening your car door when your car is underwater.
[QUOTE=Riller;45500271]Well the lever is [I]right there[/I]. I usually book emergency exits if I can, because it's extra legspace for no additional cost, and it just got a bigass red handle that says like, "Hey, pull me and the plane blows up! Come on, it'll be AWESOME!", and yet, I can't bring a can of Pepsi Twist aboard, I have to buy shitty fuckin' Coke at the airport at inflated prices. Fuck that shit![/QUOTE] Well if you weren't on the watchlist before you sure are now. Preferring Pepsi over Coke. What is [I]wrong[/I] with you.

Something like several tons of force would be needed. If someone reached for the lever in an attempt to open it on your flight, just sit back and laugh at how stupid they are and then continue reading your magazine. It is absolutely impossible [editline]28th July 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=cucumber;45523619]it doesn't open to inside [IMG]http://www.valc.com.vn/Uploads/LibraryImages/2012/10/29/(3)2008_0121_Learjet%2085_Bombardier%20Aerospace.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] There's two types of plug doors, they work the same way, but the differences are the hinges on them. One type of hinge allows the door to open to the outside, the other to the inside. They're both bigger than the actual doorway and plug it from the inside when shut, but the hinges allow for it to become smaller to open outward Cargo doors on the other hand...
