A Navy Vet: Many here and other sites think US Marshals should immediately blaze away. I can't believe how low the IQ/commonsense factor has sunk on this site...The above is why I spend more time on Townhall than listen to the nonsense being forwarded on FR.
Myth: Explosive decompression can occur when a bullet is fired through the fuselage of a pressurized airplane, causing the hole to grow dramatically and possibly cause the plane to break up as seen in movies.
Myth Busted: (From 'Mythbusters' episodes 10 and 38) The pressure is not high enough and the hole is too small. Explosive decompression only occurred when a hole the size of a window was made with explosives. Even then, the rush of air could not suck Buster completely out of the hole. Lastly, there are proven instances of explosive decompression where the plane was still able to maintain control and land.

I used to watch MythBusters all the time, but I often noticed that they were not creating the exact circumstances in or out of their shop. They did their best and mostly correct, but not always Apples and Apples.
Also, there have been instances of airliners losing part of their fuselage due to the difference in pressure and weak/failed structure. The last one I recall was a Hawaiian Airline that lost a forward top panel of their fuselage. IIRC, no one went out because all were belted in their seats.
