I remember that event where the whole top of a plane ripped off and people were swept away, but that’s an extreme example.

That was Aloha Airlines and one stewardess was sucked out because she wasn't in a seat. ALL the passengers survived even though the aircraft looked like a convertible with the top down. The idea that you will be sucked out of the hole or that the aircraft goes into an unrecoverable dive is an invention of Hollywood.

Yeah, the Mythbusters debunked it, with the FBI watching out of extreme interest.
