They think the O2 didn't work. Which is what I suspect too. The Greeks have seized Helios' airways records... Interestingly the F-16 spotted a flight attendant standing in the cockpit...while the pilot was absent and the co pilot is hunched over. but apparently they hadn't trained her how to lose altitude. What's interesting is that they were having trouble with the AC system and so maintained an altitude of 16k feet for about a half hour. Then the problem was corrected and they climbed to 34K feet. Still you would have thought that they would have been on alert for trouble. The worst thing was just before the flight the co pilot told his mother that that same plane was having trouble with its cooling system and he had complained to the company. She told him not to go on the flight. Yesterday, a Helios crew refused to board a plane that was supposed to fly from Bulgaria to Cyprus. All this is somewhat similar to what happened when the jet with payne stewart the golfer...crashed. That one was bizarre too. Everyone was dead as it flew nearly 3/4 of the way across the country on auto pilot.
