What is cabin stabbing?

Cabin stabbing is a term used in the context of aviation, referring to a situation where an aircraft experiences a rapid decompression due to structural failure or damage, leading to a sudden loss of cabin pressure. This can pose serious risks to passengers and crew, as it may result in hypoxia or other medical emergencies. The term can also evoke imagery of a chaotic and dangerous environment within the aircraft cabin during such an event. Effective emergency procedures and oxygen masks are critical for ensuring safety in such situations.
