Had a friend on this flight last night. Plane attempted to route around weather and ended up in a situation where cabin pressure was lost. An emergecy landing was made at Eau Claire.
Here's a log of the flight route http://flightaware.com/live/flight/NWA143
Had to be a scary one. Anyone ever have the oxygen mask experience before?

I wonder how long I could make that mask last. What's the average, 12 minutes of O2?
