A few points of interest are rapid decompression above 25,000' resulting in "the bends" and time of useful consciousness and the effects of CO binding with the blood's hemaglobin. The Payne Stewart Lear 35 crash is reviewed. After reading this article, it makes sense to me to fly in the lower flight levels rather the higher flight levels where we still get very good true airspeeds and top most of the weather.
