They likely would have survived at 35000 feet as well. There may have been a few injuries that were a bit more severe, but the airframes and fuselages are extremely strong these days and this opening was not large enough to cause lung damage and hypoxia in a real quick fashion so they would be able to get down below 15000 feet in good shape.
Due respect B1... but you're wrong on this one. The second that hole opened up, pressure on both inside of the fuselage and the outside became equal. I mean we are talking a milliseconds, that is just how it works. Regarding hypoxia, that's what the drop down masks are for, but in the absence of those, the onset of hypoxia would occur in minutes (tops) under the circumstances being discussed here.
No. The hole has to be much much larger for it to be instantaneous. Hypoxia and instantaneous decompression occurs in small planes.
Hypoxia is a function of altitude. The type of plane makes zero difference. And when that door fell off that Boeing, the inside and outside pressure equalized in seconds. ~case closed.
For aircraft certified to operate above 25,000 feet (FL 250; 7,600 m), it "must be designed so that occupants will not be exposed to cabin pressure altitudes in excess of 15,000 feet (4,600 m) after any probable failure condition in the pressurization system."[26] In the event of a decompression which results from "any failure condition not shown to be extremely improbable," the aircraft must be designed so that occupants will not be exposed to a cabin altitude exceeding 25,000 feet (7,600 m) for more than 2 minutes
