THE AIR CONDITIONING & PRESSURIZATION SYNOPTIC DISPLAY REVEALED THAT THE FORWARD OUTFLOW VAVE WAS FULL OPEN AND THE CABIN RATE OF CLIMB WAS APPROACHING 2000 FPM.  WITHIN SECONDS, THE AURAL WARNING SOUNDED AND THE CREW DONNED OXYGEN MASKS AND BEGAN A RAPID BUT CONTROLLED DECENT TO 10,000 FT.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
