Enter JUSTIN SULLIVAN/GETTY IMAGES 1 ROMNEY FLOATS NEW IDEA FOR AIRPLANE ENGINEERING POINTERS HUFFINGTON 09.30.12 Mitt Romney wants to know why airplane windows don’t roll down. Last week a plane carrying his wife was forced to make an emergency landing after smoke filled the cabin, and he told the Los Angeles Times that she would have been safer if passengers were able to roll down their windows. Romney worries that when there is a fire on a plane, “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.”
