"You know why they put oxygen masks on planes?"
"No, Tyler, I don't."
Seriously, though, the oxygen mask on an airplane could absolutely, positively, 100% save your life. And it's important to understand that you should put your mask on before helping anybody else. Ask Destin if you need proof.
But once you realize that oxygen is important in case of cabin depressurization, you might wonder how the heck they carry that much oxygen. Tanks, right?
Nope, chemical reactions...initially one between lead styphnate and tetracene which is used to ignite a sodium chlorate, barium peroxide, and potassium chlorate mixture...(wikipedia, doncha know)
