Those . . . mask that drop down during lost of pressure will not work properly above 30,000 ft.

That can't be right.

Some things here just do not compute. We will have to wait for the experts to sort out things.

Just relaying what the "expert" said on FoxNews this morning.

I'm sure there must be a Freepert, Freeper Expert, that might know for sure?

Maybe they don't supply enough O2 flow if the cabin pressure is above 30,000 feet?

The more I hear about this accident, the weirder it gets, and the less I think terrorism was involved. No pilot in the cockpit, co-pilot unconscious or dead, reports of two other people in the cockpit (passengers? attendants?) before the plane crashed. Odd.

One other thing I'm wondering about is how far away from Athens the plane was when it crashed. If it ended up like Payne Stewart's Learjet and crashed after running out of fuel, seems to me it would've gone a pretty good ways beyond Greece if it was flying on autopilot. I wonder if passengers or crew went up front and tried to "fly" it and wound up accidentally crashing it instead. Or maybe it wasn't on autopilot and the crew was hand-flying it. Once they start deciphering the recorders, that's when the answers will come out.
