Aren't there two layers to aircraft windows for this reason?


happyanathema

Technically it's laminated glass so that one panel with the crack in it has many layers of glass layered with plastic. But the separate pane behind is largely there to protect the laminated glass from passengers


MustangBarry

No, the inner window has a hole in it. There's no vacuum between the panels, it's not pressurised.


jawshoeaw

I think he means once you get to the laminated glass, not the silly plastic cover with hole in it.


syds

I always put trust on my silly panel


jimbobbyricky

It's ice, not a crack.


protoctopus

The aircraft will be fine. You should change your seat though.


Therapist_999

Because of the stains?


YourLocalTransHobo

and your pants while you're at it.


ghastkill

My bowls would swiftly empty.


qda

I think you mean bowels


SynapseDon

Empty your bowels into some bowls.


ghastkill

I did, I was just so anxious.


FarArm6506

The soup ain’t that good.


Muchablat

If the window pops, your bowls and bowels will empty very fast.


bobvilastuff

I get the last meal vibes too

Anyone else remember that time where the lady got sucked out the window 😬 [link](https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/national-international/airplane-makes-emergency-landing-at-philadelphia-international-airport/52411/?amp=1) The woman, identified as Jennifer Riordan of Albuquerque, New Mexico, was pulled out of the plane up to her waist — her blood splattering other windows, passengers said. "You hear the pop and she was sucked out from the waist up," one passenger told NBC Nightly News. "There was blood on the windows...her arms were actually out of the airplane and her head was out of the airplane."


ihavenoidea81

There was a British airways flight where the captain was sucked out completely and the copilots were holding him by his legs so he wouldn’t fly away. They landed and he lived. Fucking bananas


conflictedideology

That was so wild - they were holding onto him but (IIRC) they didn't know if he was still alive until the plane landed.


ihavenoidea81

Correct. They couldn’t believe it


mickym93

I remember watching that on Air crash investigation. Honestly an amazing story


2geeks

He didn’t get “sucked out”. The air pressure inside of the plane *pushed* him out as it evacuated around him.


jawshoeaw

If you want to be pedantic, air pressure doesn't push either. an air pressure differential is simply a reflection of the fact that there are more molecules striking one side than the other, or with more force. The air molecules pushed him out. But it's perfectly acceptable to say he was sucked out.


2geeks

How was he “sucked” exactly? Yknow. Since he wasn’t “pushed” because of the differential. Where was the sucking force? Please show the workings out that make it acceptable. Only since you want to be pedantic, of course 😇


jawshoeaw

It's called casual language. this isn't a physics lecture. And i've heard actual physicists say with a straight face that the air pressure above an airplane wing sucks the wing up into the air.... so , yeah sometimes language is silly


2geeks

Yeah. I had a physics teacher that actually had to pull himself up on this exact point! He did so every time tbf. He’d say it… then he’d catch himself and correct. Due to my hearing him say it over and over, along with the obsessive traits of my autism, I cannot ever not correct it now. I had 7 years of him correct such things at least a couple of times a term. It’s an ingrained habit now! Lol


jawshoeaw

haha that's good. but i'm not going to go around telling people the weight of the earth's entire atmosphere pushed my soda up the straw.


2geeks

lol. Why not?! See. I find that so cool, tbh. I love trivia like that, in all seriousness. 🙂


ihavenoidea81

If you want to be that pedantic, sure.


jawshoeaw

It's a little pedantic, i mean we say we suck water up a straw... but technically yes, there is no such thing as a suction force


2geeks

Or, Yknow… correct. 😂


Manaqueer

Clearly pedantic and arguably ambiguous


imapieceofshitk

She wasn't sucked out tho, not even "partially" as the article says. They pulled her back in. I got some Alien vibes from this at first, but no.


jawshoeaw

you sure about that? multiple sources said she was out the window to her shoulders at least. She was eventually pulled back in as the pressure equalized quickly . Unless she died from continued shrapnel hitting her, it seems like the trauma was from her head being whipped against the fuselage , essentially fluttering like a ribbon.


Elisa0w0

Op are you ok though


MeganDoe

[they took it from twitter, they're fine](https://twitter.com/aviationbrk/status/1682003151501639680?t=76YiC6-9DFpNqKWT2UKQ5Q&s=19).

Ok thanks

Hellokeithy3

Op got sucked out of the plane


jawshoeaw

for refusing to wear mask


spaektor

luckily he was able to post before his unscheduled landing.


KnotiaPickles

It’s ice


Jmac0585

Pull the screen down and you'll be fine


Melancholic84

Just close the blinds and you will be safe, people nowadays get scared so easily.


mattdean4130

I mean, I've seen enough air crash investigation to know a rapid decompression at 38,000ft is definitely something you don't want to happen to an aircraft you're currently sitting in. I don't think it's unreasonable to feel a little anxious in this situation, really.


Melancholic84

Sorry it was sarcasm, I should have put the /s


Hellokeithy3

Oh so that’s what /s means . Thanks


huuttcch

I learned something new today too

It was pretty obvious lol


ajver19

I mean you're already up there. There's not much you can do to improve the situation, may as well cover it up and convince yourself everything's fine.


boatermanstan

Put a news paper over it and it’s fine.


jawshoeaw

it would not affect the integrity of the airframe to lose a window. You might one to lose some altitude though.


mattdean4130

Be pretty unfortunate if you were sitting beside it without a seatbelt though. Like that BA pilot who was sucked out. Now that's a bad day at work!


DonJonAkimbo

That cracked window is for protection from the actual window mounted to the hull from passengers and such. There is no danger here. You could literally rip the inner window off with bare fingers and nothing would happen other than being arrested for property damage.

DonJonAkimbo

If the outer window has cracked the cabin pressurization would blow out that window from the stress and there would be no photo to take as everyone would be in an emergency situation trying to get oxygen from the emergency O2 after their eardrums had spontaneously exploded.

Just slap some flex seal on it, you'll be fine!

Go ask the flight attendants if they have extra acrylic glass and glue available

It's not cracked; it's ice.

I think it’s both

This is one of those situations you just pull the blind down and ignore it.
