Decompression CO1881/8NOV

Just deplaned from CO 1881. The 737-824 (LN 70x?) had a decompression in flight at FL340 around 10.45 EST and ditched to 10 000 ft in aprox 10 mins. Crew very professional. As a SLF I can't comment on the technical details, but the pilot came on after leveling at 10000 ft and said the the automatic and backup system failed and they were manually adjusting cabin pressure. We diverted to KBIS and are now awaiting a CO relief aircraft from KIAH.
Interesting experience. The cypriot 737 decompression incident came to my mind. The FAs acted very quick and the masks deployed without issues.
