You Know Why They Put Oxygen Masks On Planes?

I'm reminded of an episode of Mythbusters where they proved that something puncturing a hole in the fuselage of a plane would NOT cause you to get sucked out.

A Qantas jumbo jet carrying 345 passengers made an emergency landing Friday with a gaping hole in its fuselage after a mysterious "explosive decompression," officials said.

There were no injuries, but some passengers vomited after disembarking the Boeing 747-400, said Octavio Lina, Manila International Airport Authority deputy manager for operations.

You remember that scene in Fight Club where Tyler Durden talks about "oxygen masks on planes"?
