I noted from the TV news reports that Mr. Melville was wearing only a
flight suit and an oxygen mask (no full or partial pressure suit).
Does anyone know whether the cockpit was pressurized? If not (and even
if so) this was pretty risky.


Well, if he wasn't wearing any type of pressure suit, he wouldn't have
survived without a pressurized cockpit.
