The military explosive decompression training (25,000ft to 60,000ft in a bang and a flash) required pressure breathing equipment and jacket to enable survival, as lungs and things otherwise tend to expode rather nastily (PS Do not try and hold your breath!). I do not know if Concorde had anything like that. I suspect not and that anything other than a slow decomp would have been disastrous for all.
