After review the conversation regarding the Germanwings Aircraft accident, I wondered...
I didn't want to add to that thread, so I started this one.
Have there been any incidents where there was a rapid decompression and the systems worked?
I saw the video of how fast hypoxia can affect you and I can see you wouldn't have much time to put on a mask.
Further, from the passengers perspective, if the oxygen had to be generated, I wonder how long it would take for the system to produce enough breathable oxygen to the masks.
