Passengers Suffer Broken Bones During In-Flight Altitude Drop and Emergency Landing


Australia - Up to 40 people suffered broken bones and other injuries when a Qantas plane carrying more than 300 passengers was involved in a “mid-air incident” and was forced to make an emergency landing in Western Australia today. Crew members issued a “mayday” call and the pilot diverted the aircraft when a sudden change of altitude caused problems while the Airbus A330-300 was traveling in what is known as ‘level flight’.
The plane, carrying 303 passengers and 10 crew, was traveling from Singapore to Perth in Western Australia when it was forced to land at Learmonth airport near the remote coastal town of Exmouth. More... Magazine Lane - Discount Cigarettes & Tobacco - Nutty News Marketplace - Mikasa
