How? Do you blow in the ear?

Evidence is not necessarily proof. Evidence can be simply a clear description of the observation, rather than an assertion that the phenomenon exists.

Don't dismiss the car door pressurization theory out of hand. The Kremlin still hasn't released the full report, but it was reported by Western intelligence agencies that back in 1975 an Aeroflot jet exploded on the runway after ground crews slammed the airliner's door closed. The rush of air and the resulting cabin pressurization proved lethal to 120 passengers, 7 crew member and a menagerie of small farm animals. Aeroflot flew with their doors open for years after this incident.

uh, must be a slow day, huh? what utter silliness.

Further to the cat test, the PETA activists are especially aggressive in the UK.

This explains why English cars are poorly built and exhibit a less than Mercedes like, air tight clunk when the doors are closed.

This enables the cats to survive the test, and for the manufacturer to carry on building, despite the presence of the activists.

Onhwy61, I can assure you that the Aeroflot story is an "urban legend" or you have some info wrong. Slamming a door cannot compress cabin pressure enough to cause an explosion, and leaving a door even partially open would cause depressurization at altitude, with a possible catastrophic result [RE: the DC-10 cargo door with the faulty latch]. What you describe sounds like a depressurization incident. Aeroflot's slogan should have been, "everyone dies sooner or later"! Whew, not a safe airline to fly!

Mint604, SUE 'EM ALL, AND LET THE JUDGES DECIDE WHICH CASES ARE FRIVOLOUS! Except for actionable malpractice, of course!
