‘Big hole’ in Qantas plane prompts landing
Jet touches down in Manila after mysterious 'explosive decompression'

MANILA, Philippines - A hole the size of a small car in the underside of a Qantas jumbo jet carrying 346 passengers forced the pilot to make an emergency landing Friday after a rapid descent over the South China Sea.

Ladies and Gentlemen, thats why im scarred to death of flying!

And that is just one of many reasons whay I don't fly. Never have, never will. I know, I have heard all the stats before about how you are more likely to be killed in a car. Doesn't matter. I am still not flying.

Looks like it blew out from a bagage bin. Nobody hurt ,all is good.

What? The only time I think a flight fits the 'all is good' category is when it is completely uneventful.

The significant fact here is that a hole the size of a small car is ripped into the belly of the aircraft and it still flew and managed to land safely.

I believed this is why antis don't want people carrying guns on planes.

I just avoid the planes with holes in them. That strategy has worked so far.

Looks more like a repeat of what happened on the Hawaiian flight a number of years back, metal fatigue, caused by too many landings n takeoff cycles.

Any time you can walk away from an airplane after landing it is a good day.
