An airplane typically cruises at an altitude of 30,000 - 40,000 feet.

Hypothesize what problems might be encountered in a suddenly depressurized airplane cabin at 30,000 feet. Be sure to use what you have learned about the gas laws in answering this question.

When you depressurize a cabin suddenly at 30,000 feet, the passengers would probably pass out and wake up with tremendous headaches.
