And then as this cascades into a third emergency explosive decompression.
Suddenly the cockpit is a hurricane of escaping cabin air, papers flying everywhere, condensation mist, blow torch like flames, air evacuating from the lungs of pilots who have to force breath, temperature drops to minus 50, no oxygen in their masks which takes God knows how long to don... followed by confusion at not being able to get air and very, very quickly through the fog of their own confusion they become dizzy and faint and then the lights go out in the brains.
That is the reality.
No, the "reality" is that you have no business here. You're way too smart for the rest of us, the NTSB, FAA, FBI, TSA, Boeing...and even Sheldon Cooper.
I do love the explosive decompression part and all the stuff flying around. How big was the hole? Pure genius. Pure Hollywood. Huzzah!
You
should have your own reality show. Maybe you could co-star with Nancy Grace. You could do the clueless airplane speculation and together share the psychological insights from looking at peoples pictures and descerning their state of mind...their religious fanatical tendencies (PLEASE!! Do Pat Robertson first!!) and then wow us with your technical expertise...maybe you can get Goober to join you from Mayberry.
Or...maybe you should stick to your video games and re-runs of "Airplane..."
