Qantas 747 Depressurization Culprit Found?

Investigators think an exploding oxygen bottle may have caused the hole in the fuselage which depressurized a Qantas 747 aircraft in-flight last week, forcing it to land in Manila. This seems eerily reminiscent of the ValueJet Flight 592 DC-9 crash back in 1996. Glad everyone on the Qantas flight was able to walk away from this incident unharmed.

Also, a Qantas 737 plane had to return to its origin in Adelaide today, after a minor problem was discovered with one of the landing gear doors. Qantas definitely seems to be having a bad week this week!
