A Qantas Airways Ltd. Boeing Co. 747 carrying 365 passengers and crew made an emergency landing in Manila after a fuselage section came off, leaving what a U.S. safety board said was a 5-foot hole.
No one was injured on the aircraft, which was on the Hong Kong-to-Melbourne leg of a flight that originated in London, Qantas said in a statement on its Web site. The crew, flying at 29,000 feet, made an emergency descent to 10,000 feet before diverting to Manila, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau said in a statement.
