A QANTAS flight has reportedly plunged 20,000 feet after a door "popped" mid-flight.
The plane has just made an emergency landing in the Philippines following reports that a door "popped", causing depressurisation, during a flight between London and Melbourne.
Qantas is refusing to confirm the incident, but passengers who have called The Herald Sun Online say oxygen masks dropped from the ceiling during the incident.
Others said the plane suddenly plunged from 30,000 feet to 10,000 feet.

Oh dear. I'm sure that this will bring up the 'Maintenance Overseas Debate' again.
Very glad to know that everyone is OK. Well done QF Captain!
