Airplane Plane on a commercial airplane would it be possible to somehow break open a passenger window and crash the plane?
i had an argument that it would be possible to kick open an airplane window or break it open somehow and he said its impossible because the plane would crash and have no stability. i said only cabin pressure would be lost and the oxygen masks would come down so the people dont suffocate, but other then that the plane would continue on normally.
Funny you should ask.
Once upon a time, I was working the part-out of an old 727, removing the landing gears. We were off on a remote part of the field, and we needed to get a forklift. So the lead on the crew I was working on went off to get one, leaving the rest of us to just stand around and wait.
The company we were parting the airplane out for didn't want the cabin windows; the market was already flooded with them and they weren't worth much anyway. Two of the other guys on the crew got into an argument over the same exact question. Since there was nothing much better to do, they decided to resolve the question.
So, one guy went up in the cabin and out the emergency exit on to the wing, with a 3-lb sledgehammer (one of the short-handled ones). So he begins pounding on one of the cabin windows, really wailing away on it. After about 3 or 4 minutes, he gives up. The window is all beat up, distorted and scratched, but still in place. We pass him a crowbar, and he beats on it for a while with that. Finally, the window begins to bend, and finally pops out.
Now--as far as being able to crash the airplane because someone kicked out a window (which in and of itself would not be possible, unless you were either by yourself in the cabin or the rest of the passengers were too stupid to do something about you trying to kick out a window). No, you could cause a decompression--letting the pressurized air out, which in turn would cause the oxygen masks in the cabin to deploy like you mentioned.
While it's nice that they let the passengers suck on oxygen if there's a decompression, the ones to really worry about are the flight crew. Their oxygen system REALLY has to work; if it doesn't, it won't matter if the passenger system does or not. That's what happened to Payne Stewart and everyone else on board his airplane a few years back.

does airplane feels like a proper rollercoaster when the plane is taking off and landing ?
Apparently when the airplane takes off and lands it feels like a proper rollercoaster
Is that true ?
I have motion sickness and i take pills
What's really weird about is that when im in the car i feel quite cool you know like i dont wanna throw up BUT if i imagine that i'm going to london i already feel sick
What is wrong with me?
If it's really weird than should I not go on a plane ?
No, it's not true. The movements of an airliner are MUCH gentler than a roller-coaster, even during takeoff and landing.
Motion sickness is rare in airliners. Only about one in a thousand passengers actually gets sick on the airplane. It's much more common in cars and on boats.
