US Air Force aircraft carrying Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is declaring an emergency and diverting to UK

Oh Noes.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Well you said cracks cause blowouts not depressurization.

Is that clear as mud now?

A blown out window causes depressurization if above about 10K feet. Have you suddenly gone Joe Biden on us?

Cabins usually pressurized around 10 psi +/-

A blown out window usually requires a crowbar to get the pilots rectum to let go of the seat.

Tell that to the airline pilot who was nearly sucked out the window when his windshield disintegrated.

I knew of that.

That's the incident where parts department substituted different screws which, to the untrained eye, look similar but they were #8 instead of #10 screws. They literally stripped out of the fasteners.
The next link that broke was the mechanic, they are responsible for using the correct hardware. Parts dept usually kit a window with hardware.

I attended mandatory 'chain of events' training seminars for a week studying that event and other things of that nature.

Accidents don't just happen, there's usually a chain of events that all come together.

Did the window blow out? Did the plane lose pressure? Yes, on both counts. That was my point that you apparently missed.

 

[Delldude]

Did the window blow out? Did the plane lose pressure? Yes, on both counts.

The correct answer is it should never have happened.

Maybe choose your wording a little more carefully.

Dave Cronin was a friend, you might have heard of him.

What did I say different?

What did I say different?

Give it a break.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Give it a break.

Same old Dell dude!

Blowouts don't depressurize....

But a popped out window that sucked a crew member halfway out the window did.

US Air Force aircraft carrying Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is declaring an emergency and diverting to UK

On its way back to Washington, an US Air Force Boeing C-32 has declared an emergency.

On its way back to Washington, an US Air Force Boeing C-32 has declared an emergency.​

A flight, with callsign SAM153, carrying U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has been forced to declare an emergency after a depressurization issue mid-flight, according to reports from multiple sources.

The Boeing C-32A, a military version of the Boeing 757, was en route from Brussels, Belgium, where Hegseth had been attending NATO meetings when the crew declared an emergency while starting to cross Atlantic.

The aircraft, which serves as a transport for senior U.S. military and government officials, was about 30 minutes into its flight when the depressurization issue was detected. The Boeing aircraft descended to 10,000 feet.

Well that is not good. Hopefully everyone is fine and repairs can be made quickly.

Heads are gonna roll if the plane was overweight.

As a young soldier, I flew from Frankfurt, Germany to an Air Force base in England. It inspired me to go to airborne school. I never had to get on another Air Force plane that I did not fully intend to jump out of.

They don't? Why would it suck them out rather than blow them in? The wind is stronger outside the plane than inside. You know physics and all that technical stuff?

You originally said blowouts don't.

Wrap your BS around that.

I said: "Cracks cause blowouts, not depressurization." I was talking about Hegseth's aircraft. There was a descent in altitude to prevent the window from cracking further or blowing out. The crack did not cause a depressurization of the aircraft. That screaming noise you heard was my point going over your head is all.

 

[leftwinger]

Musta turned the defroster on high too fast. Pinhole Crack spread quickly.

You said "A blown out window usually requires a crowbar to get the pilots rectum to let go of the seat." That doesn't happen though, does it?

Why did you delete this:

Ok Admiral ...tell me about physics.

LoL..... the crow bar comment is an aviation community standard.
