Response to comment [from a "Christian"]: "Some hilarious comments from that thread, my favorite: 

'vidarien-
I'm surprised he didn't realize there would be explosive decompression, he should be familiar with that issue based on his campaign the last 3 weeks.'"

You cannot open the window in-flight. The cabin is pressurized.

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "...[T]hey create threads like this, which has absolutely nothing to do with Romney's qualifications as a Presidential candidate."

My critique of Romney is that he is a child-killing (Pr 8:36) antichrist (2 Pe 2:1). His unfamiliarity with the elements that must be present for a fire is of less concern.

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "Who is Mitt Romney?"

A ship passing in the night.

Response to comment [from other]: [Barbarian quote: Not knowing why airplanes don't have openable windows is kind of a hoot. A sort of Dan Quayle moment.] "Liberals are so stupid..."
 

So are terrorists (Ge 16:12).

”Cockpit Emergency Escape through Sliding Window"

[Pan AM Flight 73] "...The hijackers stormed up the stairways into the plane, fired shots from an automatic weapon, and seized control of the aircraft. Flight attendants were able to alert the cockpit crew using intercom, allowing the pilot, co-pilot and flight engineer to escape through an overhead hatch in the cockpit, effectively grounding the aircraft...

...Within a short time after seizing control of the aircraft, Zayd Safarini had realized that the crew had escaped off the plane so was therefore made to set a deal with the officials..." Full text: Pan Am Flight 73

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "Windscreens aren't windows, don't you know fool?"

Barbarian quote: "I wonder if he just doesn't egage [sic] his brain at the same time he starts talking. What bothers me is that (like some of his followers) he'll say something dumb, and then try all sorts of gymnastics to prove that it wasn't dumb."

2 Co 5:12

Response to comment [from a Catholic]: "...Romney was talking about the windows in the cabin..."

Was he particular about where Ann would get breathable air?

Pilots use sun visors and shades, too. Those aren't windows.

"Serpent hisses..."

[Was he particular about where Ann would get breathable air? ] "She would have gotten a lot more breathable air than would have been survivable."

You cannot open aircraft windows.  The cabin is pressurized.

[Knight quote: Guys... I'm no Romney fan but he telling a joke. This story has been utterly debunked about a million times now, but apparently you morons don't care much for facts.

"Basically he was retelling the story and when he said ‘I don’t know why they don’t have roll down windows on airplanes,’ he looked at the audience and everyone laughed,” Everitt told TheBlaze. “It was a clearly delivered joke … There were 1,000 people there that will tell you the same thing.] "Enough. On to the next gaffe..."

Romney wonders why windows don't open on airplanes
