Explosive Decompression

The real story here is not whether the baggage handler at fault was a union member, or whether the blogger was wrong to use his mobile phone to capture images, or any of the other crap nattered about in the comments.

The real story is that a hole bigger than would be produced if a would-be hijacker were shot by an air marshal, an armed pilot or an armed citizen passenger let air out of the airplane's cabin and it wasn't a horrible spectacular disaster.
