However, the story changes if the plane is below 8,000 feet, Clarke said. "Below 8,000 feet, the pressure is controlled to match the pressure outside, hence the reason your ears only hurt the last 8,000 feet of the descent," he said. Below that altitude, there is either a slight or no pressure difference between the inside and outside of the plane, "so it is much easier to pull the door open, as you would on the ground," Clarke said.

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

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.
