Did anyone see any confirmed reports of ear problems in any of the passengers?
I'd have expected a few ruptured eardrums with the rate of decompression when the window went.
Possible that some may even have ended up bent.

There was a report of a passenger standing with his back against the empty window port.

It would be interesting to see what happened with cabin altitude at various stages of the descent.
Obviously a sudden drop to drop the masks. But did the fellows butt in the window make any difference? To cabin altitude, that is. Not denigrating his efforts in any way.)
