just a question when you did the airplane explosion myth with the hand gun.. would the fact that you were on the ground and the plane was not moving at 600+ mph make a difference i mean when the plane exploded with even the small explosive would it make any difference... wouldn't the plane moving make a difference on the amount of suction coming from the outside of the plane...

I think the myth of explosive decompression was pretty well put to rest when that pilot discharged his weapon in the cockpit of his plane and put a hole through the fuselage under the plane's windscreen.
