ITR - Quantas Aircraft in Emergency Landing from Jan England ITR Australia for InTouchRadio.net ITR-UK & GLOBAL
Hi Michael,
This is another one of Qantus disasters.
The plane rose and dropped so suddenly and severely just over northern Western Australia, that many passengers were thrown about and the plane had to land at Laverton Air force base airstrip and the Royal Flying Doctor planes had to be flown in to remove injured passengers. Jan xx

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau says extensive damage to the Qantas aircraft involved in Tuesday's emergency landing reveals passengers and objects were violently thrown around the plane.
More than 70 people on board Qantas flight 72 were injured in a sudden drop in altitude, the pilot was forced to make an emergency landing in Western Australia's north.
Preliminary data has failed to determine an exact cause for the drop in altitude.
Reports had suggested a laptop or portable electronic device may have caused the aircraft's computer problems.
But director of aviation safety investigations Julian Walsh says so far there is no evidence to suggest a portable electronic device caused the event but says all circumstances are being investigated .
He said the flight data recorders have revealed the aircraft pitched down twice during the emergency.
"The damage was quite extensive inside, in terms of cracked roof panels where people's heads were and I guess they have hit the cabin roof and perhaps objects as well," she said.
"Some of the lining panels ... have fallen down and there's obviously a lot of rubbish and that sort of stuff around the aircraft as well.
"But [that is] probably what you'd expect if people are flying around the cabin."
