15 injured in ‘serious’ stall alert incident on Qantas flight

Sounds quite sensationalised, but... a close call?

Qantas incident, Melbourne to Hong Kong, serious stall alert

"FIFTEEN passengers were injured on a Qantas flight from Melbourne to Hong Kong after a serious stall alert last Friday, it has just emerged.

Authorities will now begin a serious incident investigation after a ‘stick shaker’ warning activated on the QF29 service on April 7.

Stick shaker is an industry phrase used to describe a stall warning, where the controls shake to warn the flight deck of an imminent stall.

Details of the in-flight incident, which took place at the end of the Boeing 747’s 9.5 hour flight, some 110 kilometres south of Hong Kong, have only just emerged."
