Thank you. Something may have been pulled into the engine. The pilots were experienced and calm. Qantas Rules.
The hole is a long way from any engine. Looks like something blew up in the cargo hold. Passengers said they could see into the cargo hold through the hole in the cabin floor, and that sure looks like cargo peeking out the hole in the fuselage.
Maybe an amateur terrorist bomb. Or maybe just some moron passenger put something in their luggage that shouldn’t have been there and some moron security screener missed it. I get the feeling there’s not a whole lot of screening of checked luggage being done. You could put all sorts of interesting liquids in there, in deliberately leaky bottles, adjacent to other leaky bottles containing interesting liquids. Or just a single bottle with a flimsy partition between 2 liquids, that will break down in the course of the flight.
and a hole didn’t rip mid air either. Something caused the hole. The only thing that is ripped is this reporters fractured English. Maybe he was out late and got ripped. Sounds like he was ripped all the way through journalism school, anyway. Whatever happened to who what where when why and how or whatever it is that they are learn when they aren’t tripping on drugs.
