IMDB rating: 3.60 Plot: A fully automated commercial jetliner is prepared to make its maiden voyage. Without an on-flight pilot, the craft relies on satellite linking for its course. But when the plane suddenly deviates from its determined route and establishes a circular pattern over Seattle, it becomes evident that the craft has been hijacked by a disgruntled former airline employee who has hacked into the flight’s computer system from his apartment, somewhere in the United States. Now, a former discredited Navy pilot and an oddball technician must race against the clock to find where the angry employee is, and regain control of the plane before it crashes into the city. |

Is it possible to pop champagne on a plane or would the cabin pressure make it explode or something?
its fine, the cabin is pressurized to meet ground atmospheric standards. the reason champagne pops is because the air pressure inside the bottle is greater than the air pressure outside. When the cork is popped, air rushes inside, making the popping noise.
If you try and open this outside the plane, where there is low air pressure, it would be a less dramatic pop, or it might not pop at all!

yea you can pop champagne. they serve it on most planes
a bottle of champagne ain’t a gun

EXPLODE??? No, champagne is opened on planes often. People take batteries and cathode ray tubes on planes!

The cabin pressure is regulated, it isn’t much different than standing in your living room.

A bottle of champagne has its own internal pressure as does any closed vessel. So yes you can indeed "pop" champagne in the pressurized cabin of a plane. A sufficient lack of pressure (Such as in a vacuum) meanwhile may allow the bottle to explode .

there is an old pilot story (true)
pilot and his wife percolated a pot of coffee in Dallas TX (700′ above mean sea level)
immediately placed coffee in thermos bottle
went to airport to fly in their own plane
headed to Denver at an altitude of 10,000 feet – well below where extra oxygen
is required or pressurized aircraft (commercial aircraft pressurize to 8,000 ft)
THEN they opened the coffee thermos – what happened?????
percolated coffee is made at boiling temperatures
so at a higher altitude, the temperature of water boiling – drops!
when they opened the thermos – it ‘exploded’ in the cockpit
spewing boiling coffee throughout the cabin – and the pilot
got 1st – 2nd – degree burns over most of his face and hands
and the windows fogged up quickly
his wife had to land the plane – thank goodness she had basic lessons
to accomplish that!
they landed safely
