There is a big difference between "a hole in a plane" and the plane
coming down, particularly when it is below 8000 feet where there is no
cabin pressurization.

Somehow you are assuming the hole will be say, at an upward angle and
perfectly round? The guy was sitting over a gas tank and next to the
wing assembly.. What if the explosion goes in that direction.

I have been tied up lately and have missed a lot of threads but have you
pointed to examples of where planes with 10 foot holes landed
successfully other than WW2 military and that one in Hawaii?
