Sounds like a sad attempt to make a drama out of an air conditioning pack malfunction that resulted in overheating and pressurisation problems which was apparently rectified (or they thought it was, because no way would they despatch if they thought it wasn't) which reoccurred in the air as snags sometimes do. Uncomfortable and perhaps distressing for the easily distressed, but hazardous? Hardly. Running out of oxygen? Complete, utter bolleaux. Authoratative sounding but inaccurate and incorrect comments from a "doctor" - a doctor of what? Divinity perhaps? who doesn't know what decompression sickness is being used to back up a faulty assumption of hazard - pure misleading daily mail style rubbish. Clearly no hazardous loss of pressure as the oxygen masks didn't deploy so no safety risk. Customer care badly managed by the airline after the diversion? Possibly - and that's where the sour grapes come from I suspect.
Pathetic sacremongering gutter journalism hype? Undoubtably.
A non story.
