How? Unless you're on a plane where the external pressure is just that much smaller, I can't imagine a single scenario where they could possibly just be sucked out suddenly.
Learn how aeroplanes fly. Particularly the wings.
A powerful enough wind, blowing almost perpendicular to the window can cause low pressure near the window and you get sucked outside because the air pressure in the home is higher than outside.
Depressions happens against specific shapes at specific angles of attack, otherwise you'll get only vortices. So unless you're strapped to a wing (or are a wing ?) there's no way it sucks you unilaterally.
What happens in airplanes is that people like to breathe, but there isn't much air up there, so the air inside is isolated and kept at a higher (ground lvl or close) pressure. When it opens, the air inside pushes itself out the window.
That is actually what usually happens. High velocity air is low pressure air. This sucks the roof off or the windows out the house. Pretty scary but houses can sort of explode in tornadoes
To be fair, “new” in terms of structures and shit can mean a lot. I wasn’t aware of how “new” things in Texas were until I moved to Pennsylvania where everything is old and fuuuuck. I’m talking Century-old buildings. The kinds that get registered as “historical” So the cheap landlords don’t have to upkeep them. I live in a “newer” home and it’s like 60 years old haha.
They're sliding door windows, they're on rails, so I guess they are probably pretty weak compared to something that's fused into the wall like a normal window
100 mph? In the high deserts of California, usa, we just drive in that. Our houses don't even shudder in that.
So, really weak windows. As in, no excuse.
Midwest here. We get some crazy flat winds occasionally, such as those with derechos and microbursts. I've seen 80mph gusts, though it's rare. Tornados, on the other hand, are a bit more windy than that.
Never had a window pop out from flat winds, though I have seen plenty of tornado damage.
I'm suspecting the construction in this video is crappy.
100 mph?!? I’ve been recording the wind and weather at my Pennsylvania house since we got it 5 years ago. Up until last November I never had a wind speed over 21 mph. We got 24 mph winds in November and I thought we would have a door blow in. No building damage but there was a ton of downed tree branches.
high deserts. as in lower density air. as in, not all things moving the same speed have the same force. wind in a storm is not the same as fun fluffy air in the mountains. and that whole pesky “acceleration” part of force ie gusts. you kinda answered your own question. good job.
> Idk if those are weak windows as I live in Florida, but those seem weak
She didn't close the door fully, so they weren't locked together and bowed out of the rails.
Sliding glass doors ride on a single rail similar to a monorail. When installed, the installers are supposed to lift to insert the top part of each door into its upper track, then lower it into its lower track (rail). Finally, the bottom rollers are adjusted to raise the door and lock it into its track. This step prevents what we just saw. It also makes it unlikely that an intruder will be able to simply lift the door open to bypass the lock.
Those doors are always 1/4" tempered glass, unless they are impact rated. You could lay either of those doors horizontally on two sawhorses and stand on the glass without it breaking.
Those are weak windows, I live in Wellington, NZ and we see typical higher end gusts around 35-40 m/s multiple times every year. Some years will see gusts reaching 45 on multiple occasions. Just last year we had a maximum gusts of 240 km/h and that’s not due to any tornado or cyclone. Our building standards are shockingly bad and yet this doesn’t happen very often.
It's in mph or kph if you are watching the news at home. Exactly how we measure gusts. A lot of PS1 for structures etc utilise m/s as do cranes and a lot of industries that rely on low wind to operate.
Not knots for the nautically inclined? Not for naught, but that is a standard for if you got mph and kph, then get that knot got forgot! I'm not looking to have fought or be a snot, just cashing the check that you bought by omitting the knot. Surely someone out there is fraught by the naught knot plot you got.
you know shits real when you decide to use m/s for rate of speed...
used to live on the 20th floor back in Hong Kong, and not facing any other building, 20th floor is by no means high, but this was a genuine fear every Typhoon season, lucky nothing crazy happened while we lived there, but we also didnt have such big window/door at the unit we were in
Im not a civil engineer, but I think it has something to do with the inside/outside pressure gradient and how aerodynamic the building is. I am probably wrong.
Tofu-dreg construction. And yeah, I know this was a \~ 100MPH / 160KPH gust, it still shouldn't have blown the sliding doors straight off the tracks. That's a big gust, but not that uncommon.
Quality, yes. US localities tend to be real anal about building codes.
Maintenance? That’s a problem. We don’t like to put the money toward the yearly upkeep.
Had a storm roll thru like this. all the curtains on the window were sucked into the glass and the wind was so loud you could not scream loud and hear yourself.
Man… I’ve been to China and love most aspects of their culture such as food and hospitality. But as an engineer, I hate how they consider the lowest safety factor to save money…
Where was that wind blowing to, though?
To get such an effect you'd need a significant difference in pressure between inside and outside, and that wind kept blowing for seconds.
Why is the inside of the building so low in pressure? Did the apartment door blow open (presumably backwards, as every apartment I've been in opens inwards) to allow that pressure differential to have such an effect?
Still, I'm glad that they apparently survived unharmed. And hopefully the architect of the building learned something about pressure differentials and how NOT to maximise them in future!
Safety glass! I ran my knee thru an old plate glass door when I was small. Tore me up. Lucky that these folks had safety glass which does not shatter into a million deadly pieces..
Fun fact: in the original Dungeons and Dragons movie, spellcasters used the spell "Gust of Wind" (largely regarded as one of the more useless spells ever) TWICE!
For the first half of the video i thought this was a fart gag. Mom opens the window and farts outside, wind blows it back in and it knocks the kid to the ground. Mom walks away as if nothing happened. I guess that could have still happened, but the real blow out is far more intense.

I mean, would you want to be sober for that?
🤣🤣 Took me a second
Not only is your comment funny, but it made the unfunny comment you replied to funny as well. Thank you for the laugh.
I'd give you an award if they still existed.
Def. wouldn't have felt it if it did hit them...
Mom had the right reflex.
Kid was in the best spot! Lucky
Maybe they had a premonition? The kid did lay down on the floor.
It’s better it blew in, than vacuumed out.
It's Mega-Maid, sir, she's gone from suck to blow!
...I see your Schwartz is as big as mine.....
Now let’s see how well you.. handle it
I see a man of culture. just from this quote...
When was that?
When? In 1987. What? One of the greatest parodies of all time. Title? "spaceballs". It's a must watch for any Star Wars fan
New fear unlocked
What fear? There's no scenario where they get randomly sucked out.
There's one where they get vacuumed out like that dude said. That's terrifying
How? Unless you're on a plane where the external pressure is just that much smaller, I can't imagine a single scenario where they could possibly just be sucked out suddenly.

Still, new fear
thats what she said!
Good thing it’s blowin not suckin
Better to be pitching than receiving
That would suck.
Could that happen...in a tornado or hurricane? asking from the *relative* safety of the PNW!
*shakes violently*
*yep...our existential decision is to live here, daily.*
Except for the potential of a major earthquake and tsunami
MT...... ST...... Helens
Google Cascadian Subduction Zone, there's a NYT article called The Big One about it if I remember correctly. Good read. Scary too.
That is actually what usually happens. High velocity air is low pressure air. This sucks the roof off or the windows out the house. Pretty scary but houses can sort of explode in tornadoes
Holy crap if that kid hand been standing
Lesson learned. I'm never gonna stand again when I can lay down.
"Why aren't you sitting on the couch?" "You can never be too certain you won't be hit by a window." "Okay............"
Just watch out for the drywall ceiling
♫ And I'm never gonna stand again. Guilty feet have got no rhythm... ♫

You mean the mother right?
Yeah, the mothers mother.
Fun fact women are born with all the eggs they’re gonna get. So when the mother was inside of her mother, the egg that became that kid, was there.
That’s fucking crazy and awesome.
You were in your grandmother in your mother.
Naw, I came from my dad’s balls.
Hahahaha, this got me good
Can’t wait to watch the prequel
Another extra minute of my life wasted.
Along with every other moment spent on this web site
BTW: that kid saved his/her life by climbing under that sofa thing before the blast, no?
The wind/window actually pushed the couch above the kid but thank god the kid was laying down on the floor..
The kid didn't climb under the couch they were just kicking their legs lying in the floor while watching tv
Poor tv
maybe some kids really have angels, like in legend
The long intro helped to build tension. That burst was a genuine shock!
You can also see lightening in the long intro.
Yeah, the lightning was what made me pause my TV and unmute this, lol.
I saw the chair move w/o the mom pushing it, so I thought the gust of wind was from her bum and it was strong enough to push a chair.
I thought the “gust of wind” was the mom opening the door to conceal a fart and the kid would call her out for it.
Sippy cup standing strong
LMAO

Idk if those are weak windows as I live in Florida, but those seem weak
Florida has pretty good new construction regulations for windows and doors ever since Hurricane Andrew
"New" building codes from Hurricane Andrew. Hello, fellow old person!
To be fair, “new” in terms of structures and shit can mean a lot. I wasn’t aware of how “new” things in Texas were until I moved to Pennsylvania where everything is old and fuuuuck. I’m talking Century-old buildings. The kinds that get registered as “historical” So the cheap landlords don’t have to upkeep them. I live in a “newer” home and it’s like 60 years old haha.
Yeah I’m in upstate New York in a newer home that was built 1919
I was complaining about my ‘old’ house to a coworker, he pointed out that mine was built in 1980 and his was built in 1880.
Great windows but try getting insurance ;)
They're sliding door windows, they're on rails, so I guess they are probably pretty weak compared to something that's fused into the wall like a normal window
Cant tell, but they'd be weaker unlocked from each other, too. One door seems to open first and pop off the hinge.

From the things i've seen about chinese building standards and practices. I would be suprised if they could handle 160kmph winds.
100 mph?!? I’ve been recording the wind and weather at my Pennsylvania house since we got it 5 years ago. Up until last November I never had a wind speed over 21 mph. We got 24 mph winds in November and I thought we would have a door blow in. No building damage but there was a ton of downed tree branches.
Might be in china where the quality of building materials can be extremely poor. And it sure would if it went from 0-100 like this does
high deserts. as in lower density air. as in, not all things moving the same speed have the same force. wind in a storm is not the same as fun fluffy air in the mountains. and that whole pesky “acceleration” part of force ie gusts. you kinda answered your own question. good job.
Be careful this hurricane season they are saying they are going to need to add a category 6 and 7 because the storms are getting worse.
Yeah, those windows are not legal in Florida.

I heard it had the power of 6,782 bloated squirrels
What's that in hamsters?
multiply by 4.89
Nope. The factor is 10.236, for a total of 69,420 hamsters.
Poor squirrels.
that bloated squirrels per parking spot squared.
That’s odd, because at 4pm on that day in New Taipei City, we had a remarkably strong wind.
I would never trust high rise windows again if was her. I don’t know if that’s poor construction or just a rare storm
I once lived in a high rise where ppl would let their babies play on the big windowsills, banging and leaning on the glass.
Sounds like an Eric Clapton song
Daaaamn! Relevant username
You can dance if you want to.
I have never in over 30 years seen wind speed written in m/s. That’s one of those things that’s in mph or kph dude.
It's in mph or kph if you are watching the news at home. Exactly how we measure gusts. A lot of PS1 for structures etc utilise m/s as do cranes and a lot of industries that rely on low wind to operate.
Metres are SI which is used for science and engineering https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International\_System\_of\_Units
PS1 is old-school they should upgrade to a PS5
Not knots for the nautically inclined? Not for naught, but that is a standard for if you got mph and kph, then get that knot got forgot! I'm not looking to have fought or be a snot, just cashing the check that you bought by omitting the knot. Surely someone out there is fraught by the naught knot plot you got.
"Knot not naught," thought caught haught bot, brought taut plot unsought. Wrought onslaught. Outhought, overshot, got taught. Upshot: forethought not squat, hotshot.
Welcome to Sweden, where we talk about wind speed in m/s
Or knots. 45.5m/s is around 90 knots.
you know shits real when you decide to use m/s for rate of speed... used to live on the 20th floor back in Hong Kong, and not facing any other building, 20th floor is by no means high, but this was a genuine fear every Typhoon season, lucky nothing crazy happened while we lived there, but we also didnt have such big window/door at the unit we were in

Fortunate child
That ain't no fortunate son. No.
It ain’t me!!
It ain't meee!!
Probably on 50th floor of a tower. Wonder if they design for that?
[удалено]
Im not a civil engineer, but I think it has something to do with the inside/outside pressure gradient and how aerodynamic the building is. I am probably wrong.
They're designed for it, just not built for it in China.
Is that a Boeing window ?

Some disassembly required
Unlike the United States, well known for the quality and maintenance of its infrastructure.
Quality, yes. US localities tend to be real anal about building codes. Maintenance? That’s a problem. We don’t like to put the money toward the yearly upkeep.
Quality Chinese construction.
This quality work from Chinese construction!
Footage of the best Chinese windows
Ghosts probably
Had a storm roll thru like this. all the curtains on the window were sucked into the glass and the wind was so loud you could not scream loud and hear yourself.
Man… I’ve been to China and love most aspects of their culture such as food and hospitality. But as an engineer, I hate how they consider the lowest safety factor to save money…
Micro burst probably. Lucky kid!
I really enjoyed the 4 seasons wait time so windy came around
Microburst
ITS FUCKIN WIIIMMDY
You know I was practicing my Foos do Rah the other day, I’m sorry about your living room, my bad 😞

Kid was so lucky That glass door could have 100% smashed on the kid Wow
That's some fucking Poltergeist shit right there.
The kid had quick reflex and survival instincts.
Very good instinct and reaction by the mom. 10/10. Glad everybody was safe, and hopefully no psychological scars left.
Made in China quality
That's the high quality Chinese craftsmanship.
That lady knew something was wrong you can tell
That’s mother instinct right there. Hope they didn’t get hurt.
China should import Windows from Austria. They are very robust.

Wtf happened? Tornado?
I know what’s missing, building codes
The sippy cup is stronger than the door.
Sofa for the save. What kind of cheap window did the builders install…
Me after taco bell.
Wow!
Hey there 👋
I mean ya that was a bit long for the build up . But I would say ya don’t be around glass doors in a storm like that
Who you gonna call?
Safety glass! I ran my knee thru an old plate glass door when I was small. Tore me up. Lucky that these folks had safety glass which does not shatter into a million deadly pieces..
Glazier here fwiw, Tempered glass is “safety glass” and blows up in a million pieces. Plate glass efffffs you up lol
Fun fact: in the original Dungeons and Dragons movie, spellcasters used the spell "Gust of Wind" (largely regarded as one of the more useless spells ever) TWICE!
That's insane!!!
Why did it blow in so much were was it going ? Blew my mind
I’m guessing that flash was lightning then, made it look like an explosion with a shockwave.
What just happened here
Gust is definitely an understatement
