Lancair IVP depressurisation at FL2= 50

This happened in Au= stralia a few days ago. The window separated=20 while in the cruise at FL250. The aircraft was landed safely with I=20 understand, no injuries or ill effects (it didn't mention the state of=20 the pilot's underwear!).

It will be interesting to hear the full report to see whether there are any c= onsequences for operators of the IVP.
