Pan-Am Flight 103

Don't know if this should be in the PHYSICS section or not

I'm a digital animation student.

I want to generate a video of what happened inside the passenger cabin of the Boeing 747, The Maid of the Seas (Pan-Am Flight103) when it exploded over Lockerbie Scotland at 31,000ft.

What sort of physics would I need to map the event in realtime?

1. I've read that in a few milliseconds the explosion in the hold punched a 20" hole in the fuselage. This would cause an almost instant decompression of air exiting through the hole. Wikipedia says 0.1-0.5 seconds. Mathematically, how do I calculate exactly how fast in microseconds? 

2.There are vents lining the cabin walls of an airliner (dado vents, image attached) which open to the hold in the event of a decompression in the hold, to prevent the floor collapsing.
The investigators say the bomb did not disrupt the cabin floor. In the first few milliseconds, presumably everything in the cabin not tied down and above a certain weight would have flown towards the vents with the speed of debris from a grenade going off, but as an implosion. Is this right?

3. How to I work out how fast unsecured objects would fly towards the vents in the implosion? Could it carry a human being not strapped in his seat? In the video simulation attached it looks like it would be

4. Would the speed of objects carried by the implosion vary according to weight?

5. How would I work out if the implosion would be powerful enough to tear passenger seats from their moorings and towards the implosion?

I guess I'll need among other things I'd need the air density of air at 31,000ft, the air density and volume inside the cabin and the number and size of the dado vents.

This is about just in the first few milliseconds (I'll get to the physics of what happened when the fuselage broke apart later)

Meanwhile I'm searching the net. Any ideas? Can you point me to anything I can read? Any guidance gratefully received
