As I recall maintenance was trouble shooting an air leak in one of the doors the night before and left the pressurization in manual open. The pilots missed seeing it and ignored the cabin altitude warning and continued flying on autopilot until fuel starvation in a holding pattern at altitude at Athens. Fighter jets went up to assist them but both pilots were passed out. It probably has been posted before in the hundreds of posts.
