Hole in Qantas jet forces emergency landing
(CNN) — A Qantas flight from Hong Kong to Melbourne made an emergency landing in the Philippines on Friday after a hole appeared in the fuselage and the cabin lost pressure suddenly.
“There was an almighty crack,” one passenger said. “We dropped a bit in the air, but other than that it was fine.” [...]
Images of the Boeing 747-400 after it landed showed a large hole where the leading edge of the wing attaches to the fuselage. [...]
Qantas said the hole, which was between 2.5 to three meters in diameter, was being inspected by engineers.
