Qantas flight lands after loud noise and "massive" hole

What the heck was that? This must have been terrifying for customers and I'm sure more updates will be arriving soon.Passengers have described how they feared their plane would disintegrate after a "massive" hole appeared mid-flight.

The plane made an emergency landing in Manila about 1:20pm after the cabin depressurised due to the hole in the fuselage.

Sources report the hole, near the cargo door, was ''several meters wide'' and caused what passengers describe as an "explosive" depressurisation.

Melbourne woman Dr June Kane said passengers were stunned by an ''incredible boom''.

''There was wood and newspapers flying past me and a woman who I was talking to in first class and then oxygen masks fell down,'' Dr Kane said. ''The moment it happened I thought we were going to plunge to our deaths.

''There was an incredible boom. Everyone thought the plane would disintegrate. (The hole)
goes right under the plane. It's about 2 metres by 4 metres.

''Baggage was flying out.''
