It doesn't--this is just an urban legend. Pressurized airplanes can usually maintain cabin pressure with one or more windows completely missing, but even if they lost all cabin pressure, the pilots would use oxygen masks and the emergency masks would drop in front of the passengers. Then the airplane would descend to under 10,000 feet where you wouldn't need oxygen.

What happens when something gets stuck in a plane jet?
When you say "plane jet" i assume that you're refering to a jet engine. When something gets stuck, this is called a bird strike. If your engine is an older one ( or if it is not "bird strike resistant certified") then the object will either wedge itself or splatter upon impact, and can jam the air blades inside the jet, causing the engine to fail and the plane to crash. If your plane is resistant to birdstrikes, then the engine will just grind up the thing and it will fly out the back. I hope i answered your question.
How does adding paperclips to the nose of a paper plane affect its flight?
It shifts the center of gravity forward. If the paper airplane originally had the center of gravity too far back, causing it to nose up and stall a paperclip or two can correct this and produce stable flight. If the paper airplane originally had the center of gravity correctly positioned or was too far forward the paperclip will cause it to nose down and crash.

Will people explode in a plane crash?
No. I wonder if you are thinking of sudden decompression. The idea that a sudden loss of cabin pressure is fatal is wrong. I t does not happen that way. The airpane is pressurized only to the equivalent of 2500 meters. furthermore the plane flys at an altitude where sudden loss of pressure is not too hazardous. When the airplane is below 2500 meters, the fuselage vents to the higher (lower altitude) pressure. People die in plane crashed from high speed impact or smoke and fire usually.
How did Payne Stewart die?
Payne Stewart probably died due to the decompression of the private plane he was in. The plane was on autopilot and several hours after the point where everyone was probably already dead there was a tragic plane crash.

What happens to you if you are sucked out of a plane during decompression?
When a plane loses pressure by depressurization, air escapes through an opening in the plane. Depressurization can cause passengers to have trouble breathing at certain altitudes.
If a small hole is made in a plane at altitude can it cause explosive decompression and tear the plane apart?
It will cause an explosive decompression but hopefully not tear it apart because planes are assembled in small panels so if one takes a hole it should not spreadhttp://site1.wikianswers.com/images/blank.gif?v=22222
What was the cause of the RC plane crash?
