... a Boeing plane did suffer yet another serious loss of pressure.
They lost pressure so quickly that brains almost exploded.

"Our ears just started hurting really, really bad. Everybody around us was grabbing their ears. People's ears started bleeding. People's noses started bleeding.

"I heard some air come out and then it started bubbling. It sounded like my ear was bubbling, my right ear. I touched my ear and there was blood coming out."[/i]

As you mention, those are the symptoms you have right before your head explodes.
Would make a great disaster flick, but not a pleasant way to go in real life.

The lack of media coverage is telling. It's not like it lacks shock-horror value, which the media loves, on an individual level, but when it draws attention to aberrant behaviour by ORG-GODS ...? It's over to Tom at the sports desk.

The Hollywood Slap was a classic example of diversion media - marked the last time the C-word was uttered on MSM, thereby shutting down the scandal of the century.

Back to planes, why did it depressurize? Was it a system error, or some other reason?
