Who: Hans-Jürgen Merten, captain of Helios Airways Flight 522 — Note: Shortly after the flight took off, the cabin began to depressurize, as the pressurisation system had not been set to "auto" after a pressurization leak check before takeoff. The flight crew, unaware of the issue, began to suffer from hypoxia. It is believed that Merten's last communication was made while suffering hypoxia's initial symptoms.
