Mitt Romeny - "Why don't airplane windows open"?
 
This is seriously disturbing regarding Mitt Romney's brain ... for background, Ann Romney's plane had an electrical fire the other day, and had to emergency land. Fortunately all are okay.

Mitt Romney was talking about this yesterday at a fundraiser in California:

Quote:

Romney’s wife, Ann, was in attendance, and the candidate spoke of the concern he had for her when her plane had to make an emergency landing Friday en route to Santa Monica because of an electrical malfunction.

“I appreciate the fact that she is on the ground, safe and sound. And I don’t think she knows just how worried some of us were,” Romney said.

“When you have a fire in an aircraft, there’s no place to go, exactly, there’s no — and you can’t find any oxygen from outside the aircraft to get in the aircraft, because the windows don’t open. I don’t know why they don’t do that. It’s a real problem. So it’s very dangerous. And she was choking and rubbing her eyes. Fortunately, there was enough oxygen for the pilot and copilot to make a safe landing in Denver. But she’s safe and sound.”
Poor Mitt ... he just can't have a good day. Ever. Perhaps, if we increase funding for science education, someone can explain to Mitt Romney why aircraft windows are designed not to open. And why airplanes have those dangely "oxygen mask" thingys

If you're sucked out of an open airplane window, just go to the emergency room. #romneymemesunited

If airplane windows don't roll down, how does the pilot stick his head out the window to make sure his dog is okay? http://t.co/...

Roll down the window of the passenger to your right if they are unable to do so themselves.
