Mid-air emergency as loud bang is heard on Qantas flight
Frightened passengers donned oxygen masks as their Qantas flight to Canberra was diverted to Melbourne following a depressurisation emergency this morning.
A loud bang could reportedly be heard from the back of the plane before it made a rapid decent to 10,000 feet.
The oxygen masks were deployed but passengers were able to breathe normally once the plane reached a lower altitude.
QF706 had taken off from Adelaide just after 6.10am today, bound for Canberra.
The plane was given priority landing at Melbourne airport where it arrived safely about 8am.
