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.
