“WINDOWS FROSTED
Uh oh. That’s bad. BTT”

Not sure of the full implications here of why it is bad. Is the implication that it is not manned and may be under remote control - or dead pilot?

When pressure is lost in the cabin, the windows frost on the inside.

Frosted windows = no pressure and not enough O2 to maintain consciousness.

When a plane experiences sudden loss of pressurization the windows will fog up.

It means they have insufficient oxygen and have probably passed out.

It means basically that the inside atmosphere has become the same as the outside, freezing the ambient moisture on the inside surface of the windows. There isn't enough oxygen at that altitude to keep the pilot conscious without supplementation.
