[u/CamTheChamp1]

Good thing there’s multiple pieces of glass

[u/Masticatron → u/CamTheChamp1]

Still alarming that one of them failed when subjected to the raw power of a single baby.

[u/Last-Competition5822 → u/Masticatron]

It's literally just a plastic sheet that is there so people don't touch the actual glass all the time

[u/GoreSeeker → u/Last-Competition5822]

I bet a suction cup is ironically the standard way of removing it as well. That's how things like LED stage floors work too.

[u/Viracochina → u/GoreSeeker]

Those spinny suction toys are clutch for kids though, funny how I'll remember this gif if I travel with them!

[u/rdp3186 → u/GoreSeeker]

It 100% is

[u/MaritMonkey → u/GoreSeeker]

Is that not a magnet too? Our LED wall tiles come out with a magnet, it's just attached to a piece that looks like a suction cup so the magnet part doesn't smoosh the pixels directly.

[u/GoreSeeker → u/MaritMonkey]

Hmm it might vary based on tile, like the ones I've seen are for the durable floor modules that have a glass cover, so maybe suction works better for those

[u/IDoSANDance → u/GoreSeeker]

Also the standard way to pull the 24"x24" concrete filled raised floor panels in server rooms that weigh ~40lbs each and are lined with steel.

[u/particle409 → u/Last-Competition5822]

Yeah, it's basically just a piece that's easier to clean and replace if it gets dirty or scratched up.

[u/BangBangMeatMachine → u/particle409]

Plus insulation. Those exterior windows are cold.

[u/Durpulous → u/particle409]

Yeah it's fundamentally just a plastic cover so people don't scratch up the actual glass all the time.

[u/DaSmartSwede → u/Durpulous]

Yeah it’s basically just industrial PVC that’s cheap to replace

[u/Wonderful-Ad-7712 → u/DaSmartSwede]

Now it’s just a plastic cover so people don’t scratch up the actual glass all the time that you used to know.

[u/Sir_BarlesCharkley → u/Wonderful-Ad-7712]

And my axe!

[u/RDW_789 → u/DaSmartSwede]

Yeah not only is it cheap to replace but it’s easy to replace and there so the real glass doesn’t get scratched

[u/Corrosivous → u/Durpulous]

Yeah it's essentially some plastic covering the glas so it doesn't get scratched by people on the plane all the time.

[u/loverlyone → u/Corrosivous]

Still I’m guessing mom’s heart skipped a couple of beats when it popped off.

well, in our defense Bob, it was either this or Freefall.

[u/mitchMurdra → u/Last-Competition5822]

Not sure how anyone thought otherwise

[u/Von__Mackensen → u/Masticatron]

The raw power of a single baby is pure destructive power.

I have one at home, I've seen things.

[u/jld2k6 → u/Von__Mackensen]

Scientists have been trying for years to utilize the raw power of a baby, but they eventually had to settle for the atom

[u/ChunkySalsaMedium → u/Masticatron]

That's not a piece of glass dude. It has no other function than to keep people from touching the real glass.

[u/Buttcrack_Billy → u/ChunkySalsaMedium]

Fuck them rules. I'm putting my hands all over thet glass!

[u/Dragon_0562 → u/Buttcrack_Billy]

enjoy getting them back off. that glass is gonna be about -40c to -50c ( -40 to -58F, for Buttcrack's sake)

[u/Buttcrack_Billy → u/Dragon_0562]

I'm American. Those units of temperature mean nothing to me.

[u/rif-was-better → u/Buttcrack_Billy]

Luckily for you, -40° is the same temperature in C and F 🤓

[u/GoingOutsideSocks → u/rif-was-better]

I got to do this to a Canadian tourist a decade ago. It's an emotional high I've been chasing since.

Died lmao 🤣😂😆

[u/dumpling-lover1 → u/Masticatron]

Have you felt the grip of baby hands tho? Those things are strong

[u/Direct-Serve-9489 → u/Masticatron]

I would not call that failing.

It was probably not designed to withstand a suction cup pulling on it. That might even be the intended way to get it off.

[u/BreeBree214 → u/Direct-Serve-9489]

I'm willing to bet the intended way of pulling this off is with a suction cup tool

[u/UndoxxableOhioan → u/Masticatron]

It’s a plane. Weight is a huge issue. They don’t want to waste weight making a non-structural part structural. The outer window carries the load. Also, they want to make inspection and maintenance easy, which means non structural parts should come off easy to reach the underlying structural parts.

[u/ProfessionalCreme119 → u/UndoxxableOhioan]

Yeah I'm pretty sure the tool they use to remove these plastic panels is probably a suction cup with a handle. Just like this baby's toy.

[u/yourtoyrobot → u/Masticatron]

Have you tried to open a baby's little grip when it has something it shouldnt? Herculean strength.

[u/JungianInsight1913 → u/Masticatron]

[u/raaneholmg → u/Masticatron]

It's just a aesthetic cover

[u/[deleted] → u/Masticatron]

To be fair, babies have a very powerful grip.

[u/bisonsashimi → u/CamTheChamp1]

That plastic is cosmetic

[u/wafflezcoI]

Yall its a protective plastic not the actual glass

[u/Nerdy_Valkyrie → u/wafflezcoI]

It's still not supposed to come off though

[u/unicornofdemocracy → u/Nerdy_Valkyrie]

It is how you remove the scracth panel, put a suction cup to it and pull. They aren't screwed in or anything. They are also removed and changed very often and easily. They are there to prevent idiots from scracthing the actual glass behind the scratch panel. Because you will always have idiots or kids that try to destroy things.

Also, kids pull apart strength is stronger than most people think. Even in the womb, those little shits can produce up to ten pounds of strength from kicking.

[u/freehouse_throwaway → u/unicornofdemocracy]

can confirm. daughter kicked me in the face when i was pressing against her mom's belly to listen.

i prob deserved it but still wasnt a great start to our relationship

[u/[deleted] → u/freehouse_throwaway]

Awww she’s gonna be an MMA fighter 🥹

[u/AvatarGonzo → u/[deleted]]

Now they gotta blast the rocky theme and eye of the tiger with a speaker next to the baby belly.

[u/Kambhela → u/unicornofdemocracy]

Very same reason why in busses and subways etc. these days you commonly have a protective film on the windows.

Cleaning is all the same, but you don't have to actually change the whole panel if someone on accident or purpose damages them on small scale.

[u/Direct-Serve-9489 → u/Nerdy_Valkyrie]

Why not? Pulling on it with a suction cup might be the intended way of removing it.

[u/MR_DIG → u/Nerdy_Valkyrie]

It is, that's how you remove it

[u/BreeBree214 → u/Nerdy_Valkyrie]

It is absolutely supposed to come off with a tool like a suction cup. That's how you replace them when they are scratched or broken

[u/trotski94 → u/Nerdy_Valkyrie]

What do you mean? It's literally meant to come off to be able to access that glass behind and replace easily if damaged? Why are so many people in here just acting like its some catastrophic failure when they have no clue?

[u/shifty_coder → u/Nerdy_Valkyrie]

Yes it is. That whole panel is removable. The interior window covering is also removable/replaceable, so that they can replace it without having to replace the entire panel.

[u/Pretend_Spray_11 → u/Nerdy_Valkyrie]

Covers are actually designed to be removed.

[u/blacksnowredwinter → u/Nerdy_Valkyrie]

It is. How else would they get to the actual glass.

[u/TeamRedundancyTeam → u/Nerdy_Valkyrie]

229 upvotes for a baseless assumption that is incorrect. If that isn't the perfect example of everything wrong with misinformation on social media I don't know what is.

[u/wafflezcoI → u/Nerdy_Valkyrie]

Maybe not but it’s there so the actual window isnt damaged

That is exactly the way it is designed to be. This is just the inner plastic part that of course has to be cleaned from both sides. And to do so, cleaners take a suction cup, and pull the cover off that is attached by magnets. There is still the real window behind that

[u/Single_Blueberry]

That's just the scratch pane that protects the actual window from scratches and dirt.

It's supposed to be removable/replaceable and a suction cup is exactly the tool you use to do it.

Kid figured it out. Kid not fucking stupid.

[u/5notboogie]

The only one stupid here is the ones not designing baby-proof plane windows.

[u/XenophiliusRex → u/5notboogie]

To be fair, the engineers probably didn’t expect passengers would have handy suction cups in their carry-on luggage ready to remove the plastic cover at a moment’s notice.

[u/deSuspect → u/5notboogie]

It's just a plastic cover to make it look nicer. I know it's cool to male fun of it cuz of recent boing failures but it's really nothing special here.

[u/NotThatValleyGirl → u/5notboogie]

Right? Like I'm all about parents supervising their children adequately, but when a literal babe-in-arms can tear off a window like a 'roid-raging body builder on a PCP bender, the problem is the window, not the baby.

[u/DargonFeet → u/NotThatValleyGirl]

It's just a window-cover. Not the actual window. Planes are used for decades, shit like this happens with aesthetic pieces occasionally.

[u/Atheist-Gods → u/NotThatValleyGirl]

It's designed to be removed with a tool. Someone with the proper tool shouldn't require a ton of strength to remove it. This baby has the proper tool and thus removed it in the way it was intended to be removed. Are screws a problem because a baby with a screwdriver could remove them?

[u/Jack_M_Steel → u/5notboogie]

What are you even talking about?

[u/Zombie_Platypus515]

Look at all that leg room! Somebody is doing well.

[u/TwincessAhsokaAarmau]

I’m not blaming the toddler,I’d show this video to the staff though.

[u/th3greg → u/TwincessAhsokaAarmau]

They won't do anything. It's supposed to come off like that for cleaning or replacement if the cover gets scratched too badly. It'll pop right back on no issue.

[u/icansmellcolors]

i don't think that was stupid at all. It's just an inside cover.. not the plane window as we all know.

if anything that kid has some grip and some strength. probably on the airline for not inspecting the windows properly and this one was hanging out by a thread already.

i don't get this post.

[u/Ziggy-T]

That’s hardly the kids fault.

This a bad post, this kid ain’t fucking stupid she’s just being cute playing with her spiny toy on a cheap airplane 🤣

Edit : and yet, the post still got 3k upvotes… kids are the stupid ones eh ?

[u/TangledUpPuppeteer → u/Ziggy-T]

It’s funny, I just assumed that it was posted here because the person who designed the window got the idea from his kid, not realizing other kids could figure out how to mess up the system.

I just felt bad for the mom. The clear “oh shit” written across her face before she realized that the window was light… wow.

[u/Ouaouaron → u/Ziggy-T]

a cheap airplane

I doubt fancy airplanes use a different mechanism.

[u/Dorkamundo → u/Ziggy-T]

I wouldn't call it a cheap airplane just because of this, these panels are literally designed to come off this way.

[u/BlackStarDream → u/Ziggy-T]

Yeah, this sub is full of posts where the kid did nothing stupid and it's the parents setting the situation up for the kid to do something "stupid".

[u/MilekBoa → u/BlackStarDream]

I mean the mom didn’t know that something would actually come off the window either.

[u/Mataelio]

[u/lawliet4365 → u/No-Environment-3298]

Boeing isn't an airline though. They are just the manufacturers. Unless you mean an actual airline that has to do with car accidents, which I just haven't heard of

[u/SonOfJenTheStrider]

Boeing's youngest whistleblower

[u/Due_Concentrate_637]

Gotta be fake i think those windows are like thick

[u/Von_Rootin_Tootin → u/Due_Concentrate_637]

I believe there’s 3 layers. It makes sense the interior cabin one would come off fairly easily

[u/BusinessTrouble9024 → u/Von_Rootin_Tootin]

There’s almost certainly 4 layers - the 3 you’re talking about, the structural ones which are impossible to remove without taking apart the wall frame, and the inner one which is purely cosmetic. The 3 structural frames are there to ensure that any one can be cracked without compromising the other 2

Source: am pilot

[u/Masteryoda212 → u/Von_Rootin_Tootin]

If it’s a Boeing, the same applies to rest of the parts as well.

[u/Bebbly → u/Masteryoda212]

It's like a lego set for the passengers to enjoy as a little treat 🙂

[u/Due_Concentrate_637 → u/Von_Rootin_Tootin]

Fair point

[u/-brownsherlock- → u/Due_Concentrate_637]

I've seen these more and more. Airlines install them to preserve the windows and save time on deep cleaning. They are basically a dust cover for the windows.

[u/joro200410 → u/-brownsherlock-]

And using a suction cup is also probably the right way to remove the panel, so technically the kid isn't stupid they only forgot to fill in the right paperwork

[u/ekelmann → u/joro200410]

With her skills she could get certified Boeing technician

[u/darthjeffrey → u/-brownsherlock-]

The outer window gets very cold to the touch. The inner window is part of a thermal barrier system. The air gap between the outer window (which is thick) and the inner window is heated to help regulate the cabin temperature.

[u/darthjeffrey → u/Due_Concentrate_637]

The inner window keeps people from touching the actual window, which gets very cold. There is even a tiny hole at the bottom of the inner window to allow air pressure to equalize between the the cabin and the air gap between the inner and outer window, so the inner window does not pop off as the air pressure changes during take-off and landing.

[u/GreenLightening5 → u/Due_Concentrate_637]

that's just the cover

[u/ComfortableAd578]

It’s funny how quickly things break when they’re not used as intended.

[u/phlooo → u/ComfortableAd578]

Lmao this is exactly the intended way to remove the plastic protection: using a fucking suction cup

[u/ScienceAndLience → u/ComfortableAd578]

A lot of words to say poorly designed

[u/ComfortableAd578 → u/ScienceAndLience]

It works great as a window, which is what it was designed for. It wasn’t designed to be used as a play surface. This also seems to be a protective layer to keep the actual window clean. Which means it very well could have been designed to be easily removed with a suction cup.

[u/xilanthro]
