Comment on I am about to board a flight. What sequence of events would occur if (by chance) for no apparent reason a window got completely smashed out?

it’s usually -40°c outside when you are in cruise altitude.

The mask can produce “oxygen” for about 15 to 20 min max. You have to be below 10000 feets to be “ok” without mask (it will be like being in a montain at high altitude).

Without putting the mask, you loose conciousness in about 30sec.

Note: this scenario is the worse in term of decompression event. Usually this type of failure would happen during the ascent.
