I wonder if he did find the oxy mask at some point. Or maybe the second Captain got his oxy on.

Liang Peng: Yes, we are on the mountains. Then I just sit up right now, fasten the seat belt, and I'll get the oxygen mask out immediately, and give it to the captain. I say you wear it, he says he is okay. I say okay and put it on my face, and then take his out for him.
