..The cause could be a number of things.... Explosive decompression could happen from many factors... Cargo Door, Emergency Exit, engine falling off and rupturing the fuselage... because it broke up mid-air doesn’t only come from a rocket or bomb as you know...

This is just plain not correct.

For an example of what happens when a modern aircraft undergoes an "explosive decompression" Google "Aloha Airlines flight 243". Then run the search again and add "images" at the end of the search.

You will be amazed. The 737 was reworked into a convertible, in the air no less, but all of the seat belted passengers survived. A stewardess was lost when she was blown overboard at altitude, but everyone else made it, and the aircraft was obviously still flyable.

The concept of "explosive decompression" is widely misunderstood because it makes for dramatic special effects in movies.

But I once saw a fat red headed German with a gun get sucked through a bullet hole in an airplane window...oh wait...never mind... ;)
