Republicans, this is your presidential nominee (emphasis added):
Romney’s wife, Ann, was in attendance, and the candidate spoke of the concern he had for her when her plane had to make an emergency landing Friday en route to Santa Monica because of an electrical malfunction.
“I appreciate the fact that she is on the ground, safe and sound. And I don’t think she knows just how worried some of us were,” Romney said. “When you have a fire in an aircraft, there’s no place to go, exactly, there’s no — and you can’t find any oxygen from outside the aircraft to get in the aircraft, because the windows don’t open. I don’t know why they don’t do that. It’s a real problem.”
And he wants to be president…
Imagine Romney as Pres. when the ‘3 AM’ call comes in and he has to make a decision on the fly.
Tell Mitt to watch the end of that classic James Bond thriller “Goldfinger” — he’ll see why airplane windows don’t open.
Magnets! How do they work?
He lies, changes positions, e[offends everyone, including other countries and isinsulated from every aspect of daily life. We are doomed if this guy gets elected. He’ll open his mouth and start WWIII.
time to get ross perot to talk again about “that giant sucking sound.”
The reason why airplane windows don’t open is because the cabin of the airplane would lose air pressure if a window broke at high altitude to the point that people wouldn’t be able to breathe without an oxygen mask.
It’s cabin depressurization, stupid!
Exactly.
It’s what caused golfer, Payne Stewart’s death.

All I can say is I’m really glad that I swallowed and put down the cup before read this.
call the zucker brothers – they have their star of the “airplane” sequel!
You must not be aware of snopes.com and/or not familiar with sarcasm.
The forgetful one is half correct. It wasn’t a sarcastic comment. Figures it can’t even get that right.
It figures you would go after me (even though I am correct about this), instead of demanding that a completely false post (with equally lame comments) be corrected or removed.
