When I first saw it on the news and read an article about what happened, they were saying the following:

But in Paris, accident investigator Francois Grangier told press that a sudden loss of pressurisation would not have caused the plane to crash, nor would it have made the pilots immediately lose consciousness.

The plane would have been at fairly low altitude as it approached Athens airport, and Grangier said loss of pressurisation would not have had any effect on the aircraft's structure.

He also said the pilots would have had their own oxygen supply.


But now in the more current article you posted, they are specifying that the F-16 pilots saw the co pilot slumped over his seat at 34K feet. That still begs the question......where was the pilot?
