With a cabin temperature of 68 degrees Fahrenheit, there could be an 176-degree Fahrenheit differential across that small piece of glass. That's why climbers who ascend to the peak of Mount Everest (more than 29,000 feet) usually require supplementary oxygen.Ĭontrast all this against the relative comfort of the inside of the aircraft and you start to realize just how well-designed these machines are. Untreated it can lead to unconsciousness, cardiac arrest and death. In this state you become disorientated, confused and start to lose control of your coordination. If your oxygen saturation becomes too low, you become at risk of suffering from hypoxia. This decrease in air pressure makes it increasingly difficult to breathe, reducing the oxygen saturation in your blood. The system is so advanced on aircraft such as the 787 Dreamliner that you can experience the same air composition as being on the ground in Denver, Colorado.Īs you climb higher into the atmosphere, the air pressure also decreases. It’s for these reasons that airliners have a pressurization system to ensure you’re kept comfortable in the cabin. Temperatures are a frigid negative 76 degrees Fahrenheit and the air is so thin that breathing unassisted is impossible. The outside atmosphere at 39,000 feet is a pretty inhospitable place. How could such an accident occur, and what has the industry done since then to stop this from happening again?
