As I was saying:-
QANTAS flight plunged 20,000 feet after a door "popped" mid-flight, passengers are reporting.
The plane has just made an emergency landing in the Philippines following reports that a door "popped", causing depressurisation, during a flight between London and Melbourne.
Qantas is refusing to confirm the incident, but passengers who have called Herald Sun Online say oxygen masks dropped from the ceiling during the incident.
Others said the plane suddenly plunged from 30,000 feet to 10,000 feet.
Luci of Melbourne told NEWS.com.au that her father, who was on the flight, said "there was a large hole in the fuselage where the landing covers are located".
"(My father said) everybody is fine and they have disembarked in Manilla where they're awaiting another plane," Luci said.
"He also said that the staff were very calm and that the emergency procedures went very smoothly."
One passenger reported the pilot did 'an amazing job' of controlling the craft.
Flight QF 30 was due to arrive in Melbourne around 10pm tonight.
It was one hour from Hong Kong when the incident occured.
The plane is now on the tarmac at Manila airport with all passengers - the majority of them Australians - on board.
Good job by the crew but it makes my point-
Airsupport, I think you were in error saying that a bleed problem meant you couldn't fly a particular route because of depess- Pax O2 issues. Aircraft have to be able to cope with a loss of pressurisation no matter how many bleed systems they have operating.
