Yeah that is similair to something that happen a while ago in Hawaii...
Pilot managed to land the plane, I think only 1 person was sucked out - but the others had to clean the doo-doo ouot of their underwear.... the seatbelts kept them locked down. They were in process of landing so they were not going that fast I guess...
I vaguely remember some photos of it, some people took - I could not imagine....

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.......
your not flying at a speed of 400-600 mph when your skiing

Well, maybe you're not, but I tend to take everything on the straight
But seriously, I had not really considered that, but still, most accidents that I have heard of with pressurization have always been at much higher altitudes...
Understand that I've never taken a physics class, so I could be VERY wrong on this, but if you're being sucked out of plane going hundreds of miles an hour, at 33K feet, aren't you pretty much toast almost the second you're sucked out? I'm wondering if there was ANY "moments of fear" and if the passengers even knew what was happening.
140 people died
200 people died
as many as 400 people on the plane
everyone died
the plane was at 7000 feet.
the plane was at 33,000 feet
only 7 people died
no one was hurt, everyone is fine and accounted for.

The Ukrainian owners of the plane said no one was hurt and that life was just peachy. Congolese government said 7 people died. CNN, BBC immediately said "all 200 passengers" then later changed it to 160 or something. other news agencies said 33,000 feet... some said 7000 feet. i was just blown away at flipping around to see that everyone was saying something different.
but the Ukrainian Military was quick to clear it up... and that one took the cake:
"The Ukrainian Defence Ministry spokesman confirmed, quoting the general director of the Ukrainian Air Transportation Company, Andrei Kukin, that the Il-76 captain looked at the instruments in the cockpit 41st seconds after the aircraft took off from Kinshasa airport. The indicators on them showed that the plane had been unsealed. "Acting in full compliance with the flying instructions, the captain asked for permission to land and did that safely. Neither the people no the cargo or the plane were hurt or damaged," Khivrenko went on to say"
probably both embarassing and a disaster considering it was security officials for Lawrence Kabila and who knows who else. it probably was not even an accident.
Sorry, couldn't help myself
Actually have resisted posting that for a few days now but when there are 6 different news stories about it ....
Aggggg my hands took over
