Qantas plane flying with a hole in its side?
I used to have a high opinion of Qantas, since it is head and shoulders above any airline America could ever conjure up–including Continental, which is probably the best of the bunch–but if this is proven true, that just might change. Apparently, a blown out tire blew a hole in the side of the plane–a rather large one, at that–and it continued on its way from Singapore to Frankfurt. I certainly wouldn’t want to be flying on such a long-haul flight with a hole in the side of my plane, although I suppose it would be interesting to see what mechanical implements/luggage fell out and crushed poor, unsuspecting people below. It would probably be somewhat akin to the infamous falling urine (which is actually from a British spoof program, in case anyone was wondering).
