I must admit that getting sucked out of a plane window doesn't sound much fun.

Indeed, I'd go so far as to say that, of all the ways for aeroplane travel to kill you, only burning alive sounds worse.

According to Auric Goldfinger it’s definitely being sucked out of the plane imo

Cracking film..might load it up soon.

It happened at FL320, I believe, so you'd have about 30 seconds before you were rendered unconscious. Add the trauma of the journey through the (very small) window, and I would suspect (and hope) that the poor lady was pretty much instantly insensible.

I think she was also hit by shrapnel from the engine exploding, that might well have killed her before all the other nasty bits happened.

Presumably it was just her head that went through. I'd have thought the shoulders would have been too broad to go through. I'm also impressed that the passengers were able to hold onto her.

In which case, one might have been tempted to leave her there to plug the hole, sort of thing.

So either her shoulders stopped her going through, or it's impressive that the passngers were able to stop her going through. which is it, dumbass?

Now look - your tone is utterly unacceptable. I will now clarify my hypothesis.

- Window broken by engine shrapnel at FL320 (this may require a modification to the plastic used in windows).
- Woman's head sucked through window due to explosive decompression.
- Shoulders must have delayed exit since she'd have been out in a couple of seconds if not.
- Passengers hang on to her - but by this stage aircraft was probably at FL200 or below so was a pointless task (ignoring the fact she would have most likely been deceased by this stage.

How fat was she? Imagine if a big lardy yank had been the suckee. That would have been something to see.

Yes. Worrying, though. Not the sort of thing you really want happening.
