Without any indication of an explosion, it sounds like metal fatigue.

“OMG plane going down”

Croce tried to send a goodbye text message to his son back home, but his hands were shaking uncontrollably.

Might be a good idea to write your farewell message prior to getting on the plane and have it ready to go just in case. I'm with this guy...my hands would be shaking so badly I'd be lucky to find my cell phone!

A hole? It is more like an RV sliding window!

[N. Theknow]

Hole found in plane that took off from Miami

There is an A-hole in Air Force One.

A text message?
I’d want to TALK!...............

Not the first

The examination by the agencies may lead to aircraft inspections, a step advocated by Boeing in September 2009 after an 18-by-12-inch hole opened on a Southwest Airlines Co. 737 plane and forced an emergency landing two months earlier.

Boeing Co (BA.N) and the FAA are stepping up scrutiny of certain Boeing 757 aircraft after a two-foot hole opened earlier this week in the fuselage of an American Airlines jet cruising at 31,000 feet, resulting in rapid cabin decompression. Having a blowout at 31000 ft will get your atention. I note no passengers were sucked out into the void per ‘normal’ Hollywood meme.

I thought the whine about “no medical attention offered’ was pretty LOL.

I think the offer of new drawers would have been more in line.....

In such a situation, can’t they just descend to a lower altitude? The plane should still fly and land OK.

Here is a photo of the hole:

But I thought we were supposed to keep our cell phones off while in flight as it might interrupt radio traffic in the cockpit? {;-}

If it was on the "upper part of the fuselage" near a door, how in tarnation could anyone on the ground miss it prior to departure?

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

Garak is my favorite recurring character from DS9.

I believe in coincidences, too. And I do trust them, or at the very least I am open to trusting them.

I prefer Auric Goldfinger's insight in Ian Fleming's 'Goldfinger.' "Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action."
