Posting for the new (to me) info about the possible exploding O2 tank.

Anyone feel like flying on 747-400 with this sort of Oxygen system right now?

I might have been on this very plane in the past.

Had you heard about the missing oxygen bottle?

Didn’t a regional jet have a similar problem over Florida? I recall an oxygen cylinder exploded. It was several years ago, but I believe that cylinder was being transported rather than plumbed into the on-board system.

I have EVERY confidence they’ll blame it on the “O2 cylinder” thing, REGARDLESS of the cause.

On the day of the London Tub/Bus bombings? The authorities were blaring all day that it had Nothing To Do With Terrorism.

On multiple occaisions late in the day British anchors were speculating that the blasts were owing to "electrical malfunctions".

The question is did the oxygen bottle explode or and rip a hole or was it ripped out through the hole. Unless they find the bottle, they will probably never know.

Cylinders are supposed to be pressure tested every few years.

The pilot was heard to say “Sydney, we have a problem.”
