The most popular myths about the planes

Open the door of the aircraft during flight is extremely dangerous. Actually, no. experienced pilot and blogger Patrick Smith explained that after takeoff the aircraft door are under great pressure. That is, to open a door, you will need the strength of Superman. Any man, even the world champion weight lifting is a task not do. So if you are afraid that to some tipsy passenger during flight vzbrendit open the door and begin to fly passengers overboard, you do not have to worry about. It is totally excluded. This myth is closely related to the following:

At high altitude man drunk faster This myth refuted "MythBusters." Blood alcohol level on the ground and the plane is the same ceteris paribus. However, since the air on board oxygen usually less people can really feel drunk, even if did not touch alcohol.
During the flight, the faeces are released into the air Stories of the fallen from the sky right on the head excrement - pure fiction.The pilot can not open sewage tank during flight. If someone's head fell suspicious substance, the blame will likely need flown by the bird.
 Pilots can control the air flow to keep passengers sleepy and save on fuel. Patrick Smith called the idea stupid. The oxygen level is determined by the air pressure.
If you click on the sink, sitting on the toilet in an airplane, you can get stuck , you can get stuck only if your body forms a perfect airtight stopper. It's pretty difficult. "MythBusters" Adam Savage tried to do this trick, but nothing he did not quit. But better still flush standing. Seat belt can reduce your chances of survival in the event of a disaster where everything is about the same as with the seat belt in the car. It is possible to imagine a situation when stuck fixing hurt quickly get out of the aircraft, if suddenly happen. But in general, benefit from it much more than harm. Officer nonprofit Flight Safety Foundation Kevin Hiatt told us about the crash landing of the Boeing 777, which occurred at the airport in San Francisco on July 6: In these situations, a person may drop out of the chair, hit the hull or drop by another passenger. So it is better to spend a couple of seconds to ensure that unclip than dangle helplessly in the air. Oxygen masks - it casts intended only to calm the passengers In fact, in the case of decompression, and the crew and passengers will have to rely on outside air, where the oxygen content is quite insufficient. And as the plane will not fall low enough to at least three thousand meters without oxygen masks will not do. Constant circulation in the plane of the same portion of air leads to the spread of diseases This myth seems particularly plausible.But Patrick Smith explained that he, too, is wrong: The air moves in a circle until it gets into the lower compartment, where about half disappears overboard. The remaining half goes through filters, mixed with a portion of fresh air and this mix makes a new turn. Boeing Manufacturers claim that thanks to this system, and filters from 94 to 99 percent of all airborne bacteria is neutralized, and that air is updated every two to three minutes - much more often than in buildings. Danger pick up any infection, rather, may come from surfaces such as folding tables. So it makes sense to lock in flight disinfectant wipes. 

Chances of surviving a plane crash almost nil during the same accident Boeing 777 in San Francisco, saved 304 of 307 passengers. In addition, according to the U.S. National Council for Transport Safety during incidents during passenger flights since 1983 po2000 year 95 percent of the passengers survived these flights. Under the "Incident" means all cases that have led to major damage to the aircraft, death or injury of passen
