They still going with the loss of pressure cause?
I think that model of plane has had the exact same problem occur in the past.

one of the comments at the bottom
In 1987 a (Monarch Airlines) 737 I was on (bound for Chania in Crete) lost cabin pressure/underwent sudden and total decompression somewhere over (mountainous) north Greece, and (to cut a longer story short) after a terrifying 'rapid descent' of about 30,000ft made an emergency landing at Athens airport. We passengers didn't know what was going on at the time - I for one thought we had all had our chips. This news made me wonder whether the 737 in question was the same one I was on all those years ago (surely they don't keep them in service that long?), or whether 737s have a particular problem with the mechanics of pressurisation. It also made me realise that my fears (and others) on that 737 bound for Crete were well-founded.

so you might be right
its just mental how a plane can fly for hrs with no one on the ground knowing whats going on, everyone died on board without informing anyone ? mustve been a quick mass death or someshit ?
and no one knows what happened to the pilot

Something very similar happened a few years back to Payne Stewart's Lear jet. He was a rich golfer, btw.
ATC lost comm with the plane and they scrambled fighters to intercept it IIRC, and they said that all the windows were frosted over from the inside. Sudden loss of cabin pressure was deemed to be the most likely cause as it flew straight and level until it ran out of fuel and crashed.

Because you leave the chips to last when you eat a meal because they're the best bit.

i don't see why that would be faked. news said they pulled frozen solid people out of the wreckage. normally, i wouldn't give much of a crap, but 1/3 of the passengers were kids

Were they kids....with diseases?
