Silicone breast explodes upon landing at Los Angeles airport
Here is one you don't hear every day - exploding breast implants (partially) caused by flying.Irena D. was on her way from Moscow to Los Angeles on an unnamed airline.
When she boarded the plane, she was not feeling too well, but things really got out of hand when she stepped off the plane and collapsed. Apparently, one of her size F silicone implants had ruptured.
Doctors were quick to point out that the plane may not have been the main reason for the damage, but that the pressure difference could have accelerated an existing defect in the silicone product.

This is filed under United States, but the picture is from a Russian newspaper. Don't pin this on Americans if it was possibly a Russian!
