Plan B Forum

The Republican presidential candidate told a fundraiser in Beverly Hills at the weekend that the fundamental design of airplanes was flawed for dealing with such emergencies.

Romney said: 'When you have a fire in an aircraft, there’s no place to go, exactly, there’s no - 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. So it’s very dangerous.'

The bizarre grasp of aviation did not appear to be a joke, as Romney also told the Los Angeles Times that he was extremely concerned about his wife's safety.

If all the oxygen is gone then the fire will go out. Everyone saved.
