As usual, both media and passengers have misinterpreted the events
follow a depressurisation.

"One passenger reported the pilot did 'an amazing job' of controlling
the craft." Presumably this passenger thought the emergency descent was
the aircraft plunging out of control, and the levelling out at 10,000
feet, a regaining of control.

What ever this one is a bit bloody serious and from what I heard
on the phone
people may be a lot luckier than they realise

Early Days but this one has put the wind up the boss she has just
demanded we cancel tickets on QF to China :(

Well, yes, any depressurisation incident is serious.

I saw a phone on the news taken from a forward angle. From that angle it was
difficult to see, but it looked like the area near the forward right side
cargo door is damaged. The media are also talking about a door being
damaged. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

This is serious stuff, I wonder if an explosion in the Fwd cargo hold
caused this ?
Or possibly a Catering truck from the previous port hitting the bulge on
that section, as Catering trucks do go close, and I have known some to
have hit it.
I wonder if this was the case, a small hole that suddenly got bigger, much
bigger, anyway my thoughts, but yes this is not very good. Chris D wrote:
