Australia's Civil Aviation Authority (CASA) said Qantas has agreed to inspect oxygen bottles on its fleet of 30 747s.
CASA spokesman Peter Gibson said: "There are two cylinders located pretty much exactly where that hole appeared."
He added: "We do know there were two oxygen bottles in that area, we do know they're a main focus of the investigation, and we think it's prudent to put safety first, to get inspections done now rather than wait any longer."
Smug grins all round then from people who suggested tanks in the first place.
I still like meteors myself, there's a new Airport movie in that, surely
