Outstanding job of recognizing the problem and be proactive about it. Great job by this flight crew!

wow, if they were still loaded while sucking O2 on the way down they were proabably pretty close to really loosing it up at altitude.  that was a great job making the decision to put the mask on when you may not be thinking straight. 

Anyone have any more details on what ended up happening once on the ground.

Thank you for posting this. One of the ARFF guys here who met them at the door. Wish we knew more of what happened. Contrary to the article, we don't have a CO detector and thus could not check for that. All I want to say right now.
