"Why didn't this cup get sucked out of the cockpit along with the co-pilot?"

Lol.Thats true.I never thought about that.In reality it would of gotten sucked out

I would say that the coffee was hers, it was cold she was wearing a coat, has to stay awake and alert.You even see a stewardess bring her a cup later just before they get to the mountain she has to get them over. Makes sense to me and that she would be in deep thought thinking about her life and family etc. in case things didn't turn out ok. I know I would be.

Maybe it was a very strong blend.

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked.

Does anyone REALLY care what she was thinking, why she was thinking or IF she was thinking?.

Everybody, she was thinking who do I have to *beep* to get out of this God awful movie!

AIRPORT 1975 is wonderful in every way. Pure entertainment of a high calibre.
I really love this movie.

Also, why did the co-pilot get sucked out when the two planes collided? At ~12,000 feet, I don't there would be that much difference between the plane's inside pressure and the outside pressure.

[–] stuartcork7 14 years ago

Whilst the plane was not neccessarily pressurised, there would still be greater air pressure inside than out. And thus enough force to blow the co-pilot out of the hole in the cockpit at the moment of impact.
The decompression would not have been as violent as that in the first Airport film, but still noticable for someone standing directly beneath the hole when the breach occurred.

Hi stuartcork7,

Thanks for your reply.

I wondered what she was thinking when she picked up a bunch of twisted metal and threw it on the main control console, which knocked out the radio. DUH.
