Depends on the plane, speed, and altitude. There is an episode of Air Crash Investigation about a plane that had a lot of smoke in the cabin where they opened the doors in flight to let smoke out.

Probably lots of factors that could change the situation. My guess is they slowed down and dropped altitude to do that ... that's a great show, BTW, I always enjoy that one when they have new ones.

But what if your hijacker CAN lift elephants? What then? Why take that risk?

Don't leave it to chance. Let loose with the wine bottles!

Wine bottles are the way to go, and in the news this week!

I like the imagery of passengers smashing wine bottles over the guy's head, although airline wine bottles may be smaller than I'm imagining.

I can with my dick.

But if you are below 8k and going fast wouldn't the wind pressure push on the door, so that you could not push it out? Or is it not strong enough?
[–] Owlchemy [S] ago
Got me, but I wouldn't experiment if I were you, you might get hit by a wine bottle.

It depends more on the exothermic potential of your sneakers.

Sounds like a job for some of the ham planets featured in /v/fatpeoplehate
