Illogical thinkers

O2 Bottle does not have to fail in the base to fly upwards.
Well the laws of physics for a gas bottle aren't much different from a balloon. If you want a balloon to fly upwards you have to invert the balloon with the neck beneath so that air rushed out the bottom.

Ooooh sorry but that's probably too complex a concept for the level of debate here.

The O2 bottle was stowed sitting on it's base. Pray please show me how an intact gas cylinder sitting on it's base flies upwards ?

I suppose if an accident report concluded the earth was flat, PPRuNers would spend months debating how they got it wrong about the earth being round.

If the cylinder went up through the floor before the fuselage ruptured, how did the bottle get "sucked" back down ?

PPRuNe raises illogical thinking to new highs.
