Hypoxia would have caused the windows to "ice over"; hence, the F-16 pilots couldn't have seen anything inside the plane.

Depressurization would have frosted the windows. Hypoxia is the human loss of oxygen. It could have many causes.

There was a recent General Aviation crash because a supplier of oxygen bottles filled some with pressurized atmospheric air instead of pressurized O2.

The pilot suffered hypoxia, passed out and was subsequently killed.

Another case was a faulty O2 line that leaked. The copilot suffered hypoxia and fell into unconsciousness but the pilot survived and landed.

None of these hypoxia cases frost windows.
