A Qantas flight en route from London to Australia took a terrifying turn Friday when part of the fuselage burst open in mid flight.

We flew the Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services quite a bit over the years to and fro Australia and New Zealand. So this story hit home.

There were no injuries, but some passengers threw up and shit their pants after disembarking, said Octavio Lina, Manila International Airport's deputy manager for operations.

Flight QF 30, from London to Melbourne, had just made a stopover in Hong Kong. "One hour into the flight there was a big bang, then the plane started going down," passenger Marina Scaffidi, 39, from Melbourne, told The Associated Press by phone from Manila airport. "There was wind swirling around the plane and some condensation." AOL has more on the story here.

The Flying Kangaroo is the world's second oldest continuously operating airline and the oldest in the English speaking world dating back to 1920.

It'll probably be about 3 years before they figure out what the fuck happened.
