Default QF 72 Diverted to Learmonth

not sure what's happened here but there are injuries.

BREAKING NEWS: UP to 50 people are reported injured after a Qantas Airbus on an international flight made a forced landing near Exmouth today.

The flight - QF72 from Singapore - made the landing at Learmonth Airport just before 2pm after what has been described as a ``mid-air incident''.

Police said about 50 of the 300 passengers on board the Airbus A380 had been injured.

Pilbara police are making their way to the airport to launch an investigation, but it is not known at this stage exactly what happened or the circumstanced leading up to the incident.

Police Media's Inspector Wayne Silver told Perthnow that the flight had landed safely, but preliminary information suggested there had been some sort of ``instrument failure'' and turbulance.

Insp Silver said there were reports of passengers sustaining severe lacerations and broken bones.

More to come.
