Why you were ordered to put down the window of the plane when you pass the international date line?
Personally, I think that was just a coincidence, and had nothing to do with the International Dateline. My guess is that you took off from Asia or Australia at night, and flew east toward North or South America. At just about the time that every passenger's body was ready to settle into the deep middle-of-the-night sleep, the crew knew that you were just about to meet the sunrise. You were asked to draw the shades so that those who felt like it could continue to sleep comfortably. That's my opinion. I could be wrong.
