Well we don't know so its pure conjecture, but all it would need is for some catastrophic event in the cockpit that took out the 2 pilots, the time it took to decend is just in relation to the cockpit controls at the time of the event.
I'm actually hoping that the whole plane was knocked out and that the passengers knew nothing about it as an 8 minute decent with everyone aware is just terrible.
