Have you ever been sat on an airplane, bored out of your brain, and wondered why the windows all have a little hole in the bottom of them?
I mean, surely windows and holes don’t go, especially when you’re cruising at 40,000 feet, and that window is the only thing separating you from certain death.
However, it turns out that there are a couple of very good reasons why that little hole is there. And if it wasn’t there, your plane journey would be considerably less comfortable.
In fact, it’s likely that without that hole the windows would blow out, and every plane that ever flew at altitude would crash spectacularly. So now you know!
