QF30 Emergency Landing in MNL after door "Popped"

Oh dear we are all going to die - Johnny Foreigner under the supervision of the nasty krauts fixing our aircraft - end of the world stuff...

.... and no appropriate comments from the SMH :!: :shock:

Some actual UK based passengers from the flight are staying locally and have shared their experiences at our local. They claim that the pilot advised they may have to ditch the aircraft, but would attempt to reach MNL. People were genuinely very scared.

Simply not true. Ditching was never mentioned to the passengers, nor did the coughpit crew ever consider it. No reason to either.

JB, welcome to AFF. Your contributions will be greatly appreciated by all, I am sure.

jb747,

Welcome to AFF.

Having spoken to some of the crew I am happy to support that also.

Impeccably timed, the ATSB have advised the final report is due out Monday.

I was wondering why this thread was bumped. I look forward to reading it.
