Taking it up to 45K and some sort of depressuring would have killed the 240 or so folks in the cabin so there's no Flight 93 repeat.
I have to wonder what was in the cargo hold.
if the depressurizing is because the negative pressure outside is too much for the plane, wouldn't that compromise the plane's structure?
Wouldn't there be some sort of alarm sent back to the ATC about the loss of pressurization?
if you let pressure out of the inside at the high altitude, it wont blow up. but it would have effects on the passengers
I find it terrifying and perplexing that there is a button to do thus
Not sure how it is done, but the pressure is regulated somehow. So I'd imagine it cold just be set lower
Kill everyone on board setting?
at some point everyday, your life is in someone else's hands. if the setting is there to stop the plane from not blowing up immediately so you can buy some time to do something else, it probably makes sense. just hope your pilot isnt a a hijacker
A commander with the Pakistani Taliban, a separate entity fighting the Pakistani government, said the fragmented group could only dream about such an operation."We wish we had an opportunity to hijack such a plane," he told Reuters by telephone from the lawless North Waziristan region.
So satellites found large pieces of something that could be wreckage.
