>>1972243>of civilian fuselage blowouts there are a lot of cases where entire seats went out with people buckled in them.In those cases, wasn't it more a case of the floor upon which the seats were bolted being yeeted out the plane than the seats themselves being sucked out? There's also the fact that pic related happened and no seat or seated passenger got sucked out
Other then that they definitely were lucky the plug flew out at only 16,000 fts (any pilot in here with a ballpark estimate of what the corresponding cabin altitude would have been?), I'd expect a few more injuries and/or frostbites had this happened at cruising altitude.

Just look at how the BEA (French NTSB) dealt with Concorde and the early 320 accidents, the national carrier and builders never did anything wrong apparently.
