    WOW I will never sleep on a plane again.

      No worries, if pressurization is lost, your body will do the sleeping all by itself.

    Oh.. Why _did_ I click on that ? :-(

  That was a missed checklist item IIRC where the ground engineer had turned off the pressurisation while trying to debug a pressure leak (ironically), the pilot was supposed to check this in a couple of lists, they did but I think they glossed over it. Plus they might have ignored some inflight warnings. This is also the one where a learning pilot (also scuba diver, probably able to handle the lack of oxygen better) tried to save it but was too late.
