SASless,
Pick an answer and find the evidence to support it?
Hmmm... I don't think so. Problem is they've picked the most implausible answer and can't find credible evidence to support it.
This is the real mystery of the Helios investigation IMHO.
What's the problem with saying the decompression happened at 34,000 feet and, for some reason (eg lack of O2, radio malfunction, APU failure etc), they didn't have time to react before the onset of hypoxia.
Makes more sense than having to say it all happened at 12,000ft but "the crew didn't realise it because they thought it was the T/O Config horn" and... 15 minutes later, they were still talking with Helios LAME, at 29,000ft.
Any thought on this puzzle, anybody?
