Following the death of a passenger on a flight from New York to Dallas, there was another news of a pilot on a passenger plane in China, where the pilot was “sucked halfway out” the cockpit window. Such incidents are rare and very real but each is unique. Since the air pressure outside the cabin is two and a half times lesser than that inside, a hole can lead to blasts of air that will suck out seats and people.
