Plane Answers: Can passengers survive an explosive depressurization? {Gadling}
Apr 17th 2010 8:56PM RBJ, just happened to read this, are you just stupid or uninformed. Payne Stewarts incident happened over time and the crew first were incapacitated by a slow decrease in the O2 level as they climbed to altitude. After that, the temp in the cabin fell to a level where the occupants were in freezing conditions, but were most probably already dead from lack of oxygen. You people who have no idea what you're talking about should refrain from putting out erroneous info.
Plane Answers: Civilian vs. military pilot — which one is better? {Gadling}
Dec 30th 2009 10:31AM It doesn't really matter where your training or experience comes from, more on the attitude of the individual as has already been mentioned.

Jan 24th 2008 10:38AM Somehow, I can't believe that a few hours without food is starvation. Of course, in todays America, if you're not putting something in your mouth, you're going to have major psychological problems. This persons problem was most probably that they were so fat they couldn't fit in the coach seats.
