Fun fact: That particular SR71, #960, flew more combat missions (342) than any other. Imagine where that titanium has been :allears:

Thanks for those pics. That museum is the only reason I want to go to Ohio.

I've been there. The B36 really has to be seen in person for its size to be appreciated. It's monstrous.

Similar thing happened with Aloha Airline Flight 243: flight attendant gets sucked partly out of a small hole, blocks it momentarily and then the top of the plane tears off.

(warning: blood)


When I was a kid I watched the movie about that on TV, and haven't really felt okay about flying since, statistics be damned.

Frankly I just hope she was rendered unconscious very quickly, because everything about it sounds just unbelievably terrible.

I almost wonder if she got stuck at the shoulders and the airflow broke her neck.

Some quick napkin math (based on an average human female head) suggests she'd feel a force of 62 pounds on her face.

edit: yeah I totally googled 'drag coefficient of a human head.' I'm assuming 1 since I couldn't find anything.
