“The Plane Just Fell Out of the Sky”

Filed under: News, Passengers, safety — anne @ 9:43 am

News reports are now saying that a computer glitch may be the reason why a Qantas jet suddenly took a dive in mid-flight.

One of the passengers said the plane went straight down, and it lasted for 10 or 12 seconds - an eternity, if you’re the one experiencing this hell. One man, Jim Ford of Perth, was pretty sure he was about to die:

“It was horrendous, absolutely gruesome, terrible, the worst experience of my life.” - Jim Ford, Qantas passenger

Whatever the cause of this incident, it was bad: 51 passengers and crew were injured - some with broken bones and even spinal injuries.
