Have a friend who was on a Air Mauritius flight from Mauritius to LHR on Saturday night 21st December. Half way through the flight over Africa there was a loud bang and the aircraft descended 20,000ft (?) in a tail down attitude (?). It then flew for a while at that altitude and then climbed back to cruise altitude and continued to LHR. The Captain was not very vocal about what happened but said they descended for diagnostic checks then continued. My friend says that as she left the aircraft she overheard one hostess saying to another that the Captain was a real hero.
I am a retired airline pilot who people tell these stories to, so not sure what happened. Maybe a windscreen? Anybody know where I might find information about what happened. Just seems a strange event.
Thanks in anticipation
