O2 and Cypriot airliner crash

If the pressure drop is rapid, they need to exhale, otherwise their lungs
will burst. Just like surfacing in scuba diving.

I don't get it. Can't a person stay conscious for longer than 30
seconds without breathing? Most people can hold their breath for over
a minute.

If the drop in pressure is rapid, can a person hold in the air? Or perhaps
it is expelled because the pressure in the lungs is double the cabin
pressure?
