Blog-GL! Curiosities of flying that surely you did not know.

You are flying, the food arrives, they ask you what you want to drink, you call them a beer. They grab the can, they open it, they serve you in the glass ... and the rest?

Bathrooms

Hostesses, pilots and possibly many passengers know how to do it. Be careful what you try to do in there.

Emergency doors

You get up to the bathroom and while you wait for the turn to take place, you ask yourself: what happens if some maniac comes up to open this door at 10,000 meters?

Nothing happens. The door is not going to open. By pressure difference, a person has no strength to move that door a millimeter.

Ray
