I recall a airliner flying over the Pacific some 20 years ago lost a large section of ceiling (no oxygen masks for scores of passengers) and a flight attendant who was standing in the aisle as it happened. The aircraft landed safely with that one loss of life.

That was Hawaiian Airlines. They flew at relatively low levels between the islands. The many, many press-depress cycles simply bent the fuselage until it broke open.
