Well of course silly.. don't you remember that from first day ground
school? It's one the axioms of the Bernoulli principle.

OMG, did I just see that on HBO? Was that "Turbulence" with the flight
attendant landing the airplane?

It was in a series called "Human Target".

After the hero got the airplane inverted, the "flight computer" locked up
and wouldn't let him return to normal flight, so he had to climb into
the equipment compartment (unpressurized, at altitude, no oxygen) and
have the handy, on-board nerd reboot the computer.
