Surprised? You probably might be wondering how true this fact is. But the chances are that individuals who fly, would have to survive if the oxygen mask drops down for just 15 minutes. Enough time for the pilot to take the plane to a lower altitude, so passengers can breathe normally .
FACT 2: An aircraft has a hidden sleeping room for the flight crew team
This you might not have noticed, but many aircraft have secret sleeping rooms often linked by a staircase , meant for the flight crew to rest on long trips which might last up to 16 hours.

FACT 4: Lights are dimmed when a plane is landing
