A water bottle contracts inside the cockpit of a KC-135 Stratotanker Nov. 1, 2013, at McConnell Air Force Base, Kan. Pressure changes inside the aircraft caused the bottle to react to pressure equilibrium. Cabin pressurization becomes necessary at high altitudes to protect aircrew from a number of problems such as hypoxia and altitude sickness. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Maurice A. Hodges)
