DISCLAIMER – I am not planning on smashing the window on an airplane.

    It depends very much on the height.

    If we assume a jet flight at around 30.000 feet:

    The cabin pressure goes down immediately, that means, a very strong wind goes out of this open window. Several eardrums burst. (Stupid people panic and cry). Afterwards people cannot breathe normally because of the low pressure… They need these air masks.

    Then the pilot descends immediately to something like 5.000 feet - I don’t know exactly - where everybody can breathe normally again.

    And then you land at the next airport.

      I’m not sure I’d call it STUPID to panic when something extremely scary happens to you…

            No. Wrong.

            It is clear and simple in that order of events that we are describing here: the ones who panic and the ones who don’t. And so I describe them with clear and simple words. That other guy who always looks for some grey areas in between and then makes lots of buts and long winding arguments, he is just not there. No time for him, no place for him.

            He maybe comes afterwards, when all is over and I don’t care anymore, and that’s what I do with you now.

              Oh ok you’re right it is binary. I now understand that if you are stupid if you aren’t 100% calm during a very stressful situation. Thank you for the explanation.
