The Travel Ringer

Quantas airlines, known for its stellar safety record, had a near catastrophic in-air incident when one of it’s jets suffered an explosive decompression at 29,000 feet. Flight QF30, en route from London to Melbourne, safely landed in Manila. Early reports state that terrorism was not suspected.

The pilot and crew were commended for their efforts in safely landing the plane without incident. And Quantas maintains its safety record.

I imagine this will now launch more investigations into the condition of aircraft, and in particular the fuselage.

More accounts of this story can be found on iWon and CNN.
