You aren't sucked out of an open airplane window; you're blown out.

Romney in New Orleans asks where the water came from

-snip-

Romney expressed concern about the welfare of the 5,000 residents, some of whom had evacuated. He then asked, according to a journalists' pool report of the visit: "Did the water come from the sky, or the rivers, or the ocean?"

Like that guy with cancer the ER sent home with two tylenols, a four figure ER bill sent straight to collections, and still no chemo.

If an aircraft or spaceship depressurizes and you wind up exiting the craft in the process, you'd be blown out rather than sucked out.
