Gaping hole in Qantas jet forces emergency landing
A large hole in the fuselage of a jet forced a Qantas flight to make a rapid
descent and emergency landing, the airline said. "There was an almighty
crack," said one passenger on the Hong Kong-Melbourne flight that landed in
Manila, Philippines, instead.

Heard him declare an emergence and come on down, fast 15 minutes.

I heard something this morning that attributed the problem to an oxygen tank
that exploded.
