[QUOTE="0311, post: 2447468, member: 26943"] What I know is it went to up 45,000' and a 777 pilot said it was probably done to incapacitate to passengers. Wikipedia said rapid descent in an unpressurized environment causes gasses in the body to expand. This was well planned. Did the pilots have gravity suits? I don't know. I know I saw Rick on Pawn Stars buy a gravity suit, and Sportsman's Guide sells surplus gravity suits from time to time. But that is speculation. The facts are that it went up to 45,000' and descended rapidly to 23,000' then resumed a cruising altitude. They are saying on CNN right now the last ping is looking like it may have come while the plane was over land. This is the Wiki link on cabin pressurization: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabin_pressurization[/url] Pressurization of the cargo hold is also required to prevent damage to pressure-sensitive goods that might leak, expand, burst or be crushed on re-pressurization.
