Wow, losing cabin pressure on a jet that big is no joke. Glad to hear everyone made it down OK.

Not a minor event! Killed Payne Stewart and his fellow passengers.

A non-event, happens about a zillion times per year.

It's only getting bad, when nobody recognizes the problem, which will most-likely occur when the PX-system is not working after take-off*.

An if-flight depress is relatively easy to recognize by your ears popping and an alarm in the cockpit.

* And if you're "cool" enough to disregard the cabin-px alarm.
