    Just over the news, the poor woman almost suck out the window has died. I believe this she is the first fatality on a US registered aircraft in 9 years or so. Talk about a great record considering how bad it was in the 1980s and earlier.

    So she was sucked out the window then?

    NY Post article says a (possibly) different woman had a heart attack and others tried to revive her. I suspect they were unsuccessful.

    In other vids, I see passenger wearing their oxygen masks...over the mouths only. Not nose and mouth. I thought the flight attendant spiel said nose and mouth. ??

    Well, people don't listen.
    and when they get scared, they think even less than they normally think.

    Maybe from trauma or an accident, but people die on planes all the time

    Seatbelts on at all times.

    For me I mean ALL times. 20+ years of flying and I've never seen the inside of an airplane bathroom.

    Yup yup. Jets sometimes discover Clear Air Turbulence. Pilots can't see it and avoid and you don't know it's there until you're stuck to ceiling and wondering how you got there.

    I have to wonder if she was killed by the debris that came through the window. For her sake I hope she died instantly. Because at 32,000 feet the air temp is about -70F, at 600 mph the wind chill on any exposed skin would be horrific, impossible to breath, instant frostbite. Terrible.

    This^^^^^and the wind blast would peel skin. Blow eardrums. So much damage in an instant.
