That is the reality.
And then, suddenly, an Indonesian AF jet spots them! And they contact Captain Nick (or Dick, or whatever) Strong, who's on vacation in Burma or something. And he uses the super-secret US Air Force jet to catch up with the crippled plane and does a HALO jump through the hole!

Can we check with Tom Cruise's agent? Is he available? Oh, no. Wait! I see it in front of my eyes... two words! Jeremy-Renner!

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..."
