Some things don’t have to be “guaranteed”.

Unless the person is an idiot, they EXPECT the plane to have no issues.

Did the people who died in those Toyota cars when the engines just DIED on the road have a GUARANTEE that the engine wouldn’t just stop for NO REASON?

No, you know they didn’t.

Too many here surpass conservative and go straight into donkey’s behind territory.

Actually sorry to say it they should have left the woman in the window There was absolutely no chance she would survive the incident and her body in the window plugged the hole.

You arrived before I got there.

Oh man, that picture is crazy. Some of the outlines look like WWII aircraft.

Looks like there’s a few airports pointed out, but a bunch of them are completely covered by the tracks.

[SkyDancer]

Don’t fret. They’re at different altitudes.

[SkyDancer]

These are my Frontier routes.

It was a twin Engine 737. The Right Engine failed.

In the filing, Chavez says she "prayed and feared for her life" and she called her children to tell them she loved them and was preparing to die.

Yup. Rapid depressurization helps one to clarify thoughts; to call all loved ones and tell them that you are preparing to die.

Would you rather she was fully defenestrated, never to be seen again?

Now THOSE people had some serious stuff to be worried about.

[Balding_Eagle]

I don’t understand how she was able to call?

Does she have some kind of phone that the rest of us don’t have that works while the airplane is in the air?

They have to file a lawsuit to find out if there’s a lawful basis to even file a lawsuit.

Wrong reference, there were two with in a year. I was referring to United Airlines Flight 811 which the picture at post 21 does not depict. My bad. Hard to keep up with both mishaps when they happened so close together and it has been awhile and thousands of beers ago.

Not many familiar with the accident probably considered what a pressure differential of one third of sea level did to the body’s internals—though perhaps someone familiar with the deep sea dive consequences of a sudden chamber decompression might guess the consequences.

Not one straight line route. You must get leg cramps standing on the rudder everywhere you go! (Lol)

[Delta 21]

Yeah, but WHAT a VIEW!

[wastedyears]

Wow, I’m surprised there’s a bunch of states Frontier doesn’t service. There’s also a few red lines. Do those indicate one-way?

[Mom MD]

That and sticking your head out the window going 500 mph....

Since you LOL'ed I figure you do know what a Great Circle route looks like on a Mercator Projection map, but there may be a few here on FR that don't.

[VeniVidiVici]

Yeah, but WHAT a VIEW!

LOL! Yeah, DELTA would have charged a premium for those seats ;)
