Physiological phenomena in a low pressure environment, including:

ii) hypoxia;
iii) duration of consciousness at altitude without supplemental oxygen ; and
iv) gas expansion and gas bubble formation.
v) other factors associated with rapid loss of pressurization including:
vi) most likely causes;

ix) cabin fogging;
x) effects on objects located near the point of fuselage failure; and
