Did you see the part where pilot took them to 45k? They’re dead.

45,000' isn't necessarily fatal. The cabin is pressurized. UNLESS they shut off the pressurization system, which means there's no point climbing to FL450. In otherwords, FL450 isn't relevant to whether the passengers are alive or not.

If I remember my airforce training well enough, it’s far harder to maintain pressurization at those altitudes, and at some point just need a mask, maybe unless it’s mil spec.
