As a precaution, we're checking into why the oxygen masks deployed, and we're also trying to determine whether there was a problem with the cabin pressure.

Amanda Tobin

Dr. David Katz

When you vaporize rock, there is very little hydrogen -- whereas 50 percent of the atoms in a rock are oxygen.

Lawrence Grossman
