That would do it... but,
after shutting down emergency oxygen supply to the cabin
I'm not sure that's possible... why would Boeing build in a means of turning off the emergency O2 masks?

The fire safety hazard presented by pure oxygen?

Pre-flight: substitute laughing gas tanks (attached to masks) for oxygen...

Then turn the plane...have pilot announce "grab your masks"....

EVERYONE would obey and inhale themselves to la la land

I think this was sooooo terribly planned out.

If a fire broke out on the plane you'd want to be able to do this.
