This happened a couple of days before the SMH ran its main headline of "NEW QANTAS NIGHTMARE!!!!!" When a baggage belt broke in Melbourne. I guess bashing Qantas is a lot more fun.

No media reports either of the Cathay 747 that had a full depressurisation over Kazakhstan (Great Success!!) two days ago? Hmmmmmm funny about that.

Incident: Cathay Pacific B744 near Karaganda on Nov 28th 2010, loss of cabin pressure
