They get blown out into space.

This VERY much depends on where the observer is located ;-)
When you drink lemonade, you say that you sucked it through straw instead of "the atmospheric pressure pressing on the surface of the cup squirted the lemonade to your mouth". While drinking, an overhead ventilator might be blowing air on you. How is this blowing related to the people being blown out of the aircraft?
By the way, watch mythbusters as they tried to pressurize an aircraft and shoot through the window to have stuff / people blown / sucked out of the aircraft ;-)
*Much* less spectacular result than movies might led you to believe.
