This is why education needs to be funded.

I came across the story earlier about the guy trying to open the airplane door in flight, was curious about those doors and the pressure so I looked it up real quick.

In a group of comments on a site, I came across this gem.


"You would never be able to open an aircraft door during flight because of the speed the aircraft is going, and throwing people out of planes on movies is a load of crap.

In real life, you, along with most objects and people inside the cabin/galley, would get sucked out due to the force of gravity. Common sense! But we flight attendants are trained to open aircraft doors whilst in flight! It's simple: descend lower and lower when the aircraft has slowed down and is low enough to allow objects to remain inside the aircraft you can open the door.

Do not attempt it because you will be arrested or you, along with the hundreds of other souls on board could die as the gravity (force) will get inside the cabin and start pulling the aircraft faster toward the ground!"


To summarize: If you open the exit door in flight, gravity from the outside will leak into the plane and pull it down to the ground.

Raptor-jesus please help us.

2. Always knew I didn't like gravity --

Too serious.

3. "we flight attendants"?

Time to put that airline on the no-fly list.

4. Grabbity: it's like a big cartoon hand grasping and pulling things towards the flat earth! n/t

5. That sounds so screwed up I rather suspect snark..

I think Poe's law probably applies here.

Poe's law, named after its author Nathan Poe, is an Internet adage reflecting the fact that without a clear indication of the author's intent, it is difficult or impossible to tell the difference between sincere extremism and the satirical parody of extremism.

6. That is completely wrong!

Since gravity gets weaker the farther you travel from the planet's center, it is only safe to open the cabin door at very high altitudes. That's why airports have those jetway things...to keep the people from being sucked down to the concrete below when they step out of the aircraft.

Your rite...we needs better educashun in these country.

7. Generally, the question is not whether public education should be funded

But how it should be funded.

Federal funds equal federal control.
