A hole in a Qantas Boeing 747-400 passenger plane with strong winds gushing in forced the pilot to perform an emergency landing from 30,000 feet to 10,000 feet in an extremely short time so passengers can breath without oxygen mask. In the end, the plane managed to land safely in Manila with passengers cheering and clapping for the safe landing. I must say the calmness of the pilot, co-crew and passengers are commendable.
During the emergency landing, a passenger captured the chaos in the plane. Do read the below CNN report and of course MUST watch the CNN videos.
