The time taken for accelerated corrosion in an all pure oxygen atmosphere equates well with the QF30 incident and the prior accidental nitrogenation of many airliners oxygen cylinders. The clincher is that aircraft refill nitrogen isn't dehumidified (like aviation's dry breathing oxygen is).

And they weren't all QANTAS airplanes either. QANTAS services many international airlines in transit. i.e. How many more corroding oxy bottles are out there ticking away?
