The illusion of safety, an exit door procedure at 30000 ft?
Oxygen gets you high. In a catastrophic emergency you are taking giant panic breaths, suddenly you become euphoric, docile, you accept your fate. Calm as Hindu cows.

In case there is a sudden very big and sharp loss of air in the cabin the oxygen masks help you to breathe.

Planes fly up so high that the air is very thin.
If for any reason the cabin was damaged, or the planes air system was inoperable, you would not be able to breathe without the oxygen.

Atmospheric pressure at sea level is 14.7 PSI. Above ten thousand feet the air pressure is lower than the pressure required for us humans to breath. Around 30,000 feet where commercial airliners fly, you cannot breath. So, compressed oxygen is required. In the event that cabin pressure inside the aircraft falls below 14.7 PSI, you will need to breath out of the mask to live.

If there is a loss of cabin pressure at 35k ft., guess what?? No air! So they put some oxygen masks in there. However, what they don't tell you is that your head will feel like it's exploding.

Yes, If pressure is lost in the cabin you use the masks to breathe.

in high altitude, oxygen is deficient. if the plane decompresses people would pass out without oxygen.

In the event that something happens with the air pressure system, you would not be able to breathe without them.

it(the oxy tanks) helps the plane burn faster in the event of a crash. wrongful death suits are cheaper to settle than are survivor suits.
