I looked up Kalitta Air and find they're a Part 121 cargo carrier flying
B-747s. It's hard to imagine they'd not notice the loss of cabin
pressure and don their masks and begin descent all the while declaring
an emergency and contacting ATC. And what was that incessant "whoop
whoop" horn blaring in the background?

I never flew a 747 and I don't recall the warning given to loss of cabin
pressure in a 727 (been 34 years since I flew one). Still, I was
impressed by the pilot's lucidity, even through his slurred speech. He
knew he had a problem but had no idea what it was. It's a very good
thing they were able to complete a safe descent!

So if you hear someone talking like this on the radio, how do you respond?
I'd sat "Please be quiet SOF".
