I can't say too much but that is the location of the 744's oxygen bottles.

Looking at pics of 744s I've taken before, I can't see a door (to be "blown off") at that location, just the wing root fairing and a NACA-style inlet duct.

Would the crew/pax have been able to use oxygen if it had been an oxygen explosion?

Reports seem to say they had oxygen during the descent...?

CH 10 in Melbourne have just stated that it was the same plane as the Pope flew on earlier this week.
Talk about sensationalist journalism!

Can't be the one the Pope flew back on. It was registered VH-OEE from what I believe. This one is VH-OJK, .

Interesting that the Qantas timetable currently shows:

Quote:
Depart: Hong Kong 25 Jul at 09:00
Arrive: Melbourne 25 Jul at 21:45
Stopover: Manila for 1:00 hours
I think it'll be there for more than an hour.

I had a laugh at the comment made by one of the passengers

"The hole was on the Driver's side"
