Just realized that something smells fishy here.....
from the BBC version:
"At least 200 passengers are feared dead after they were sucked out of a plane at 7,000 feet when a door opened. "
"The Russian-made aircraft suffered a catastrophic loss of cabin pressure which caused a "terrifying vacuum" while flying over Congo. "
Hmmm..I am not an expert on aero anything, but at 7,000 feet I would not imagine that the air pressure would be a problem. Every year I go skiing between 9,000 and 12,000 feet in the rockies, haven't had to be pressurized yet. So, either there is a mistake and that should be 17,000 or somewhere higher, or, they were pushed ?
Just a thought.......
