Woman’s silicon breasts burst as she lands in California

Was anyone else injured?

[TigerLikesRooster]

Only the woman.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Something dosen’t make sense here, wouldn’t the decrease in pressure at altitude be more likely to cause this than the higher pressure near sea level upon landing? I would NEVER question a single word I read in Pravda, of course!

[TigerLikesRooster]

Further down the article, it says:

The woman felt sick already during the flight, but she thought that it was the pressure. When the jetliner landed, the woman collapsed at the airport.

So the implant could have already ruptured while in flight.

She boarded a Boeing-767 at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport with a hope that in about 14 hours she will be enjoying the sun of California.

Her trip was a bust.

[SIDENET]

I hear that she was flying into Silicon Valley.

So, is she some kind of robot or android, or does Pravda not know the difference between silicon and silicone?

Sigh, the airplanes are PRESSURIZED!

Besides, Mythbusters busted that myth a couple of years ago. Can’t happen, even under EXTREME pressure.

Yeah, but not to 1 atmosphere. Anyway, I can easily except that it is unlikely that there is enough of an excursion below 1 atm. to cause a breast implant to rupture, but I was just commenting that the report said the ruptures occurred ON LANDING, which would seem to me to be completely inexplicable, even hypothetically.

I really haven’t much sympathy to waste on people who choose to mutilate their bodies. Her boobs, most likely, wouldn’t have burst had she not had silicone implanted in them.

[Ramius]

I’m not buying it, not any of it.

The differences in pressure are just not enough, nomatter what the altitude, to burst an implant.

Not buying it.

Before you make such a harsh statement maybe you should find out why she had the implants.

[calex59]

She probably had them for the same reason 99% of women who have them do: To make her breasts look larger. If she had them for medical reasons, such as reconstructive surgery due to a mastectomy, that is another story. I saw nothing in the article that led me to believe that was the case, and if it is not the case I stand by my statement.

Cosmetic surgery, done just to enhance looks, is a total waste of money and a mutilation of the body on par with sticking rings through the nose, lips or any other part of the body,IMO(or "changing sexes" for that matter). Any infections, bursting or other defects caused by such surgery are brought on by the people who insist on having such things done to themselves.

I don't include people who have suffered severe trauma from one source or another, including fires and car, plane, train and other vehicle accidents, wars and natural diasters.

Glad to see the exceptions you made. I just thought that your first statement was pretty sweeping.

[NRA2BFree]

Good grief. Did they mix the silicone with gun powder?

[wildbill]

I just can’t get a feel for this story.

There has to be more backstory that we don’t know.

Where does a 45 year old woman in Russia get the money for a bad boob job and to go galivanting to California for a beach vacation?

[Dutch Boy]

I was thinking the same thing. This is highly unlikely unless there was a massive defect in the implant. There are many women flying every day with implants without problems.

BTW - Myth Busters did a show on implants and they are very tough. And they get paid too.... what a job.....

[mikrofon]

I wonder if she was anywhere near SACramento?
