Whoa!!
Jeepers that is scary!!!
Any details on what aircraft was involved. Probably a 737-800 or -400. Hate to be on that plane............... |

This sounds more like a decompression issue - masks on and a sudden descent to 10K ft, and being told about air con issue...
Still, no thanks to that experience!

It was one of those p.o.s. 737-400's.

I got this from a Radio colleague in MEL, they may have been deployed but nobody appears to be wearing the masks...

Maybe they'd taken them off after getting down to 10000ft?

SOP for most companies is once at 10000' Capt would make a PA advising masks no longer required, so I would guess the pic was taken once they were at 10000 or below.

The aircraft involved was VH-TJH (Boeing 737-476), delivered to Australian Airlines in October 1990.
