So why would the underpants bomber come out of the bathroom to set off the bomb | |

Returner User ID: 859494 United States 01/07/2010 05:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Simple physics -- you don't set off your explosion in a small walled compartment. A lot of the bomb's energy would be expended blowing the walls away, but that wouldn't affect the aircraft's airworthiness. So you come back to your seat and sit next to the fuselage. too, let's say your home-made bomb doesn't rupture the airframe (you haven't tested this, you know). But if you're sitting in a crowd, the effect is nearly as catastrophic. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 568981my guess, this would blow a hole in the plane and light fuel. Like a hole in the plane isn't enough and sitting in your seat in full view of other passengers while trying to light a bomb ensures unhappy seatmates. |

:) User ID: 580924 Canada 01/07/2010 05:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Returner is right, the lavatories on the A330/340 is lightweight module kind of stuff. Quoting: -Freak-Light weight, but a closed box. He wouldn't blow a hole in the fuselage in there, window seat mid cabin, well that's another story. Utter tripe. The walls of the lav will partially constrain an explosion - more force directed against the fuselage; in the open cabin area force is dissipated easier. |

Umm, no, as non of the walls of any of the lavatories on the A330 is even close to te outer walls of the fuselage. |
