Here’s a video of that harrowing Qantas emergency landing, taken by a passenger who, it seems to me, exercised remarkable news-telling ability from a very constricted perspective, under very tense conditions.
Still no word on what the hell caused the plane to get a gaping, nine-foot-high hole in its fuselage.
The flight, on a 747-400, originated in London with a stop in Hong Kong and was bound for Melbourne, Australia, when the emergency occurred Friday. There were 346 passengers and 19 crew members on board, Qantas said.
