Romney Doesn't Understand Why You Can't Roll Down Windows On A Plane
I really hope that he was misquoted and is not this stupid.

Romney Doesn?t Understand Why You Can?t Roll Down Windows On A Plane

Fire fighters board Ann Romney's plane
On Monday, Mitt Romney offered a remedy to the problem that caused his wife's airplane to land prematurely last week: Allow passengers to roll down the airplane windows. Ann Romney's plane was grounded Friday after the main cabin filled with smoke. The small electrical fire caused no injuries, but apparently did cause the Presidential candidate to forget the dangers of altitude.
When you have a fire in an aircraft, there?s no place to go, exactly, he told the LA Times. 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.
Air crafts do not open windows because the cabins are pressurized to fly safely at an altitude of tens of thousand feet. Opening a window in an airplane would seriously sicken the passengers and crew.
