Yesterday SWA #812, a Boeing 737, lost cabin pressure after a hole developed in the skin of the plane on Friday en-route from PHX to SAC. Officials said Flight 812 lost pressure because of a fuselage rupture. Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor said the pilot made a "controlled descent from 36,000 feet to 11,000 feet altitude."
I grabbed some info from flight aware to see how quickly they went from 36,000 feet to 11,000 feet. It looks like at one point they were descending at over 10,000 feet per minute. I wonder what it feels like to desend at 10,000 feet per minute.
Here are some of the charts:
