[QUOTE="0311, post: 2446837, member: 26943"] Yeh. This special delivery is for the heavies in Beijing. But I wonder, what exactly happens if you get depressurized at 45,000 feet? I know you lose consciousness and die, but how long does it take? Edit: I got a partial answer from Wikipedia; the rapid descent from 45,000' to about 1/2 that altitude so rapidly in an unpressurized environment would cause the gasses in the passengers' stomachs and intestines to rapidly expand. I suspect with explosive results. They were making sure that the passengers didn't have the chance of retaking the cockpit, it appears. [/QUOTE]
