The line was not connected to the aircraft, the cylinder was just being turned on to check the bottle pressure when one steel braided line let go
Wasn't there a safety alert about these recently? The teflon lined steel braided ones.

There certainly was one circulated in QFLink as Sunnies had one go bang fairly recently - I assume those sort of things go up from the Link as we get ones coming down from big brother.
