Whoa!!
Jeepers that is scary!!!
Any details on what aircraft was involved. Probably a 737-800 or -400. Hate to be on that plane............... |
This sounds more like a decompression issue - masks on and a sudden descent to 10K ft, and being told about air con issue...
Still, no thanks to that experience! |
Oh, god - "Plunged"?
Emergency descent. |
It was one of those p.o.s. 737-400's.

I got this from a Radio colleague in MEL, they may have been deployed but nobody appears to be wearing the masks...

SOP for most companies is once at 10000' Capt would make a PA advising masks no longer required, so I would guess the pic was taken once they were at 10000 or below.
|
The aircraft involved was VH-TJH (Boeing 737-476), delivered to Australian Airlines in October 1990.

I can't beleive Qantas are still flying aircraft nearly 21 years of age.... :eek:
