That video is supremely underwhelming. Maybe I've been ruined by disaster movies. Imagine if you reshot Snakes on a Plane and everyone just sat there with their yellow masks on calmly not giving two shits and getting on with things.

My son always takes the window seat so I will be taking one for the team next time as there is no way my fat arse is getting squeezed through the window. I would be like a bottle stopper.

Love this!

The poor pilot that never flew again afterwards. That was the craziest thing ever.

Which pilots?

Both of the two pilots involved in the BA BAC 1-11 accident/incident in 1990 very very definitely carried on flying for BA for many years after that incident.

Looks rather peaceful compared with your average flight, if anything

If you're on about the video of the Ryanair flight TBH I'm not surprised it's underwhelming.

It seems the window failed at 15000 feet
I don't know the details of how a 737's prssurisation is scheduled but whilst it's quite possible that (as is reported) one person ended up with their head stuck in the window by the outflowing air it would (fortunately) have been a relatively benign decompression....

If the window had gone at 25-30,000 feet or above it might have been much worse.... and by saying that I maybr need to emphasise I'm not saying what happened was trivial.

@AMurderofMurderingCrowsI thought you said seatbelts were there to prevent this hence my question. They sit pretty low on the hips so I can’t see how it would prevent a child no matter how tight you do it up.

Nope, I didn't say they were there to prevent this. I said this is why the crew ask you to keep your seatbelts fastened when seated and also seatbelts have saved lives in these types of situations.

I can't say any more about the safety of a child in this situation because I honestly don't know, but as I said in a previous post, they are probably more vulnerable than an adult.
