one for the boffins and arm chair boffins on here
Would the damage potential have been greater/ the same/or less to
an aircraft in similar circumstances at a higher altitude ? To the
recent QF incident
for discussion

And why is that? I would have thought the pressure differential would be
much greater at higher altitude? I would like to know the reasons for
"less". Not directly related but they would have also needed to rapidly
descend an extra 10,000ft making the "near death experience" (Herald
Sun) last a lot longer.

The aircraft is pressurized to it's maximum pressure differential as it
climbs (approx 8.9psi).
So it's the same regardless of whether you are at 29000'or 45000'.
The only 'danger' is that the higher you are, the longer it takes to get
down to
a safe level if you lose cabin pressure.

Bloody whinging passengers. You can bet they'd pay bulk dollars to get the
same thrills on a roller coaster. They get the thrills thrown in with the
seat back entertainment system for no extra cost and STILL complain!
