2.Oxygen Masks in Flights Work Only for 15 Minutes
Did you know that oxygen masks in flights work only for 15 minutes from the time they are pulled down? In most cases, this 15 minutes time is more than enough time for the pilot to bring the flight down to an altitude where you can breathe normally again. You have to act fast to put an oxygen mask down in higher altitude. You will only have 15 to 20 seconds before passing out completely due to lack of oxygen supply to the body.
