Internal dialogue:
"oh that sentence was the perfect time to storm out. Let's storm out"
"but we're on a plane. And we're taxiing already."
"fuck that it's gonna be so dramatic, let's go"
I've been there before. Stormed out of a car the person I was seeing was driving. Then I had an ~8 mile walk back to my car which was conveniently parked just outside her apartment. I had some very sharp words for her in my head as I walked. I devastated her in my mind. To shreds!
Then we got back together one or two more times after that before I finally called it quits for good. I don't think we could really stand one another, but damn the sex was good.
Point is, I feel for the guy, but not on a plane.
Wait... are you saying you "stormed out" of a moving car? How?
Because I've done that once from a very slowly moving vehicle, my foot got stuck and I got second-third degree burns on my shin. as the car dragged me forward on the sand.

Several times, I'd wager. And with each being more succinct than the last.
We were stopped at a light.

It was poetry!

Oh thank god. Otherwise it might have been a tad over-dramatic

I wonder if JetBlue'll try to bill him the $20k to repack it, or if they'll just eat it.
Airlines are greedy shitbags but....hell yeah they should bill him.
Fuck you, dude! Your selfish little hissy fit caused issues for a LOT of innocent people.
Throw the book at people who fuck around on airplanes.
Tbh, the slide sounds like a good time. Glad it wasn't in the air yet.
The doors won't open when the plane is in the air.
They will up to a certain altitude, when the internal pressure is too much to overcome. It's probably very easy to open at say, 1-2000 feet.
From what I recall, they pressurize airliners to the equivalent altitude of 8,000 feet, so you have until that altitude to open the door.
Most aircraft are pressurized to 8000 feet, yes. Exceptions are the 787 and I believe some of the newer airbus models that are pressurized to 6000ft. It makes it more comfortable for passengers . One of the reasons this has been difficult to do until recently is that the fuselage undergoes a pressure cycle each time to aircraft takes off and lands which eventually causes metal fatigue and failure. The newer aircraft incorporated a lot of composite materials in their fuselage construction which aren't as vulnerable to this particular type of failure, so they can safely pressurize to a higher relative pressure.
They don't just instantly depressurize the plane to 8,000 feet, that's just the highest cabin altitude that is typically set, as going higher than that can lead to hypoxia problems, and lower can create too much stress on the airframe. So pretty much as soon as you start ascending, the pressure differential is going to be high enough you're going to struggle to open it, if you could get it to budge at all.
You should inform Boeing.
It’s amazing how dumb people are.
Have fun traveling. It won’t be by airplane ever again.
Alcohol was totally not involved.
Nope. Didn't even make the news article.
*hic*
That's just going too far.
It's not like it's a United flight.
Spirit Airlines is leaking again. Someone shove the trash back on that dumpster fire, please.
Boo. I liked spirit. Very low prices.
