Out of interest..a Concorde "what-if..?"

Can any of you Wise Old Owls out there advise what the parameters were for rapid and/or explosive decompression on the Concorde? I can imagine that cruising along admiring the curvature of the Earth at FL600, and seeing the Gucci rubber jungle pop down must have been food for thought. 60.000 down to 8.000 takes how long in the SSC? Larger Alka-Seltzer tabs in the O2 generators? Anyone know? Uncle Dickie Brown of Shepperton listening (ex Birdseed Maintenance Control)?
