depressurised
Air pressure released
Depressurised describes something that has had its internal pressure reduced or released, typically referring to aircraft cabins, spacecraft, or sealed containers.
When a plane depressurises at high altitude, oxygen masks deploy: The cabin depressurised and passengers struggled to breathe.
This is the British spelling; Americans write depressurized.
