To: null and void

Don’t know if the cargo area is pressurized. Once the hole opened the wind might be considerable in there.

I don't know either, but I have seen enough crash test/simulation footage that shows the flooring collapsing into the cargo area when said cargo area is abruptly depressurized to think it likely.

Besides, structurally, what holds pressure better, a perfect cylinder, or a cylinder with a big flat floor for one side?
