Seems like there's precedent: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helios_Airways_Flight_522
It wouldn't explain why they weren't detected on radar though, unless they were and we haven't been told until now (as in the post a few posts up).
So, just to be sure, since the oxygen masks descended, that likely means most of the passengers had them on and were conscious during that entire event? If so, that's like two and a half hours of being awake while cabin pressure is low/warning lights going off/pilots being unconscious. I'm sure that's nothing short of top 5 most horrific ways to die.
