At 0:51, you can see a woman on the other side of the isle and a little boy is on her lapRoc18 wrote:

You barley notice that, then you have to connect it to the scream. Thats not obvious.Spearhead wrote:

I would have used the e-exit upon landing. Dunno if I would have potentially filmed my own death though. Future black box cell phones?Kmarion wrote:
A mysterious “explosive decompression,” a swirl of debris inside the cabin, the masks come down, the plane drops almost four miles in the air. And naturally some guy in coach thinks, “I need to film this,” and whips out his video camera.
emergency decent is the standard practice. you basically nose it over but not enough to damage the aircraft. decompression would have stopped after the pressure equalized. Not sure what caused this.Kmarion wrote:
It said there was wood chips flying around in first class. I'm guessing the decompression thing on descent didn't matter? I'm still not understanding how bad the damage was to the fuselage .. other than it being the size of a small car.

Old enough that they're nearing phase-out.Not sure how old this plane is, but this reminds me of that united 747 that had its cargo door open in-flight.

A passenger has told of her panic as oxygen masks failed to fall from flight QF30 when it made an emergency landing at Manila Airport last week.
The 17-year-old Boeing 747-400 with 346 passengers and 19 crew on board was on its way to Melbourne from London via Hong Kong when the incident occurred. A large hole formed in its fuselage near the wing causing rapid decompression of the cabin.
Beverley Dawes of Phillip Island said she was one of four passengers who were unable to access the oxygen masks.
Mrs Dawes told AAP that a door in the plane's ceiling failed to open and release the masks. She said an air stewardess had to open the door manually so the masks could be accessed.
"I caught her (the air stewardess's) eye as she was racing along with a portable oxygen thing she was wearing.
"She put something up and they (the masks) went down."
Mrs Dawes said there was "a bit of a panic" when the masks didn't fall, describing the pressure onboard as "unbelievable".
"It seemed like an eternity, but I think it was a few minutes. We're very lucky."
Other passengers have also told of how oxygen masks failed.
St Kilda architect David Saunders said the elastic on his mask was so old it had deteriorated, while other masks didn't fall.
"A guy just went into panic and smashed the whole panel off the ceiling to get to the mask," he told The Sunday Age.
Another passenger, Paula Madejon, said she had to share her mask with two other people.
Mrs Dawes said she didn't have any problems with her mask once she was able to access it.
"We just put them on, and were grateful to get the air that was coming out."
Mrs Dawes had been travelling with her husband Peter throughout Europe to celebrate his 80th birthday.
They came home on Saturday to a house filled with balloons and relieved family members.
"It's a great relief to be back."
