   I don't know about the regular news services but I just learned about
it today at my Psychology 140, Sleep and Dreams, class, since a guest
speaker Dr. Heller mentioned that our oxygen sensors are not very good.
So what happened to the technicians was caused because there was no way
for the body to detect a lack of oxygen in the air contents of the chamber.
Not even the "hands to the throat" since there was "air" to breathe.
Dr. Heller also mentioned that 2 people died.
