The pax O2 system didn't do its endearing jack-in-the-box thing for passenger amusement, suggesting either a very air tight fuselage or, more likely, a descent performed while the crew was trying to regain control of the cabin pressure systems after a failure.

Clearly the cabin equivalent altitude never exceeded 14,000', or whatever the 380's pax O2 auto deploy trigger value is.
