SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the impact of cargo handling on aluminum cans during air transport. It is established that the denting of vacuum-packed food cans is primarily due to mishandling rather than pressure changes in the cargo bay of the airplane. The lower pressure in the cargo bay does not contribute to inward denting. Instead, the handling practices observed during luggage transport are likely responsible for the damage to the cans.
