Not knowing, but obviously guessing, that there are clear Immediate Action items for an O2 failure.
These types of losses are awfully hard to take.
As an aside - I once heard of a person actually dying of asphyxiation when he had an O2 system failure when he could have just released the mask obviously.
The comments at the end of this article are more of the trash commonly seen when making comments about something they know nothing about.
