Lava flying ______ the air from cracks in the earth can weigh as much as a refrigerator and even small pieces can be lethal. The lava streamed ______ a highway and flowed ______ the ocean.

The mistake
A photographer named John was flying first class from London to Nairobi in Kenya when one of the pilots came out of the cockpit to make some coffee in the microwave. He couldn’t get the machine to work, so he asked his fellow pilot to help him.
As the other pilot left the cockpit, he let the heavy metal door close behind him. The pilot started an urgent, whispered discussion with his colleague. The two pilots had locked themselves out of their cockpit and, as they told the photographer (who promised not to tell the other passengers), the door was fitted with a safety lock. This meant that not even the pilots could open it from outside the cockpit. John remembered that he had put his Swiss army knife in his hand luggage. However, he couldn’t remember where he had put his hand luggage and spent five minutes opening and closing overhead lockers until he found it. John and the pilots attacked the door with the knife, the lock started to come loose, and when they broke into the cockpit, the plane was cruising eastward over the Indian Ocean.

St Marteen: tourist killed by jet blast at caribean airport
A tourist has been killed after being knocked over by
jet blast at an airport famous for its dangerous runway. The woman was watching
a plane take off at Princess Juliana Airport on the island of St. Marteen when
the blast of a Boeing 737 knocked her over. The tourist was standing by the
fence at the end of the runway, watching the plane takes off when she fell and
had head injuries. She was taken to hospital, where she died. The airport is
one of the most dangerous in the world due to the location of its runway with a
public beach at one end, and a mountain at the other. Between the beach and the
airport there is a public road. Despite warning
signs and requests from the airport to stay away from the runway they don’t
obey and stay by the fence to feel the blast from planes as they take off.

PRESSURE
Jeremy Berke
Commercial airplane cabins are generally pressurized
to an equivalent of 6,000 to 8,000 feet above sea level, in an effort to
maintain a healthy oxygen level for both the passengers and the flight crew.
When a passenger jet is flying at a cruising altitude of over 36,000 feet, the
pressure outside the cabin is ___________ than inside the pressurized cabin.
Air pressure has a tendency to equalize, moving from areas of high pressure to
low pressure to achieve equilibrium. When a hole rips open on a plane, the
suction resulting from the pressure difference between the cabin and the sky
could pull nearby people or objects outside.
Depending on the size of the hole, such accidents could either create just enough force to shuffle papers around, or, pull a full-size human out of the plane. Survival is unlikely for anyone fully sucked out into the sky.
While in-flight incidents are extremely rare, if you
want to survive a crash, research suggests the best place to sit is in a middle
seat toward the back of the plane.

Southwest Airlines Flight 1380
Jeremy Berke
Southwest Airlines Flight 1380 suffered an engine failure that smashed a plane window, sucking a passenger halfway out of the plane in midair.
A passenger on a Southwest Airlines flight on Tuesday was partially sucked out of a window after an engine exploded in midair.
The flight, traveling from New York to Dallas, was forced to make an emergency landing in Philadelphia, and the passenger — a 43-year-old woman named Jennifer Riordan — died Tuesday at a hospital. It was the first fatality in a US passenger plane accident in nine years.
Passengers on the flight described how, after the explosion sent shrapnel into one of the plane’s windows, Riordan was pulled halfway out of aircraft.
While passengers were able to pull Riordan back into the plane, another passenger was said to have felt “severe pressure” after positioning his back against the opening in the cabin in an attempt to seal it.
When there’s an opening in an airplane during flight
(regardless of the cause), the plane will undergo rapid depressurization.
