What happens if you pull the emergency exit on a plane?
If you're parked at the gate, police will be called, and you'll be removed from the plane, arrested, and charged. If you're taxiing, the slide will deploy and the alarm will sound.

Assuming that there is no actual emergency, the passenger will probably be restrained before actually opening the door, the airplane will return to the terminal where the passenger will be escorted off the plane and arrested.
No emergency door can be accidentally opened by passengers. They are all automatically locked from the cockpit before you ever board, and in any case in flight they can't be opened due to the pressure differential inside and outside the plane.
After all, even the most capable passenger can be incapacitated by one drink too many, which could put lives at risk. They also note that it's unwise to sleep in the emergency exit row. Because, well, it's the emergency exit row. Another unwritten no-no: XL fliers.
The inner pane basically safeguards the load from the passengers during flight. When both the outer and middle panes break, then all the pressurization in the airplane would escape leading to decompression in the passenger cabin. A plane is pressurized for passengers' comfort as it climbs to a higher altitude.
These tiny holes, also called breather holes, serve as a safety function, by making sure that the outer pane bears all the air pressure (the pressure inside the cabin is much higher than outside). This also ensures that in case the pressure difference becomes high enough, it is the outer pane that breaks off first.
Q: Do airports have the right to reject an emergency landing request? A: Some airports have blocked a runway to prevent a landing with airport vehicles. Usually this has been during a hijacking. So yes, an airport can deny a landing request; however, it is very rare.
What happens if you flush a toilet's tank in an airplane while sitting on it? Absolutely nothing. Your arse might ache a bit afterwards. Stories about people being sucked through the toilet and flushed out the plane are urban legends.
“A bullet hole in a cabin wall would have no perceived effect on cabin pressure…. A bullet hole is far smaller than the opening of the outflow valve [through which cabin air escapes during routine depressurization].
The dimming of cabin lights only happens when it is dusk, dawn or dark outside the aircraft. This is a safety measure, and is to ensure your eyes are adjusted to the gloom enough to see the floor lights leading you to safety along the aisle in the event of a crash or emergency evacuation.
Seats are usually 3 in a row, but sometimes 4. I haven't flown many different planes, but on my last trip when I was around 350, I chose an aisle seat, so I could put the arm rest up and have a bit more room to uh.. 'spread into'? But honestly since it'll be the 3 of you, you should be absolutely fine.
How fat is too fat to fly? Even though there are no weight limits for fat passengers, there are normally three basic requirements for flying while overweight: Passengers must be able to sit with both armrests down. Passengers must be able to buckle their seatbelts.
However, statistically speaking, a seat close to an exit in the front or rear, or a middle seat in the back third of the plane offers the lowest fatality rate.
