Would be interested to hear from the experts if it's possible that the cabin pressure could have done this. Seems unlikely in my opinion.
Maybe just a set of strange, unlinked circumstances....

Cabin pressure is kept constant at a level between 5000-8000 feet, while the plane is at +35.000 feet.
Sealevel cannot be replicated on any comercial jets.



No, cabin pressure didn't have anything to do with it, imi. It was fatigue of the material; it happened to happen on board.

Thank you for explaining.....seemed odd considering everybody flies and watches travel all around the world.

I've still got to get home....might sleep better on the flight knowing it was just bad luck.

And Thank you again for all the kind words and help.
