Search in Flight Mechanik Forums the Aircraft had Antenna socket Problems
The most say:
1-The antenna socket gave away
2-The Cabin presure fall down
3-Pilots try to turn Back
4-Pilots falled asleep cause of no Oxygen
5-Passengers falled asleep after 12 minutes
6-Cabin crew with Oxygen Bottles falled 20 minutes after Cabin pressure Asleep

1: How big would the hole be when the socket gave way? 2 inches (5 cm)? I doubt it would even be attached to the pressure bulkhead, and if it was, what sort of rate of depresurization would it cause? 50 feet per minute? 500fpm? 1500?
2: At 1500 fpm (I very much doubt it) the cabin altitude would start at 7000 feet, it would take 5 full minutes to reach the alert threshold of 14000'. Your ears would hurt with the change, i.e you would notice. First thing you, as a pilot would do is put on your "quick donning mask". If they were caught unaware for some reason they have another 5-7 minutes at least before the cabin reached the cruise altitude of 35000. At 35k you still have 30 seconds of consciousness. No chance of them NOT putting on their masks with in that 10 minute time frame. Second thing they would do would execute an emergency descent to 10000 feet, which at 6000 fpm would have them at that level within 4 minutes. IF they became unconcious during the descent the aeroplane would level off at 10k on autopilot, or plunge straight into the ocean.
3 ok,
4: see 2:
5: ok
6: And what would the F.A do for 20 mins? Nothing? They can access the cockpit, help the pilots, use the radio. Or the Satcom phone.
