QF974 has squawked 7700

[straitman]

Reported as a medical emergency on radio news (no detail).

Now being reported on 3aw that it was because of a medical emergency.

Very unlikely to squawk 7700 for a medical emergency though.

Captain to Co Pilot - Can you get me the number for Windscreens Obrien in Rocky?

Now being reported as pressure problems and oxygen masks were deployed. No idea what caused the problem. Took 45 minutes from their deployment to landing. No injuries reported.

Bonus points if she's giving her "I wish I wasn't here" facial expression:

I can't wait for the medias coverage on the next HR issue now that her relationship with mr howes is public knowledge.

To me that relationship is like tony abbot dating Julia gillard.

Glad to see the local ABC on the ball

Qantas plane makes unscheduled landing - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Have not seen a replacement aircraft depart yet, suspect it will be a while before the passengers get to Townsville.

ROFL laughing, she is terrible - wonder if she's still on with Paul Howes

Actually in her defence she is in fact very charming and friendly in real life when not reading from a wooden script.

On topic, must have been a pretty dramatic flight for all concerned and kudos to the QF Captain and his crew for landing safely

No AFF member onboard with video footage of the masks deployed yet? Come on!

+1. I've met Olivia before and she seemed quite friendly.

Having said that, I also got the impression that you don't want to get on her wrong side! ;-)

 

[anat0l]

Just read the latest ABC article about the incident. Not too much negativity in it; most pax applauding the crew. Calamity was definitely not the order of the day.

Agreed - she cringed jokingly when I casually mentioned the word 'enhancement' Haha!

The aircraft captain reported the aircraft suffered an unexplained and sudden rise in cabin pressure and increase in climb. Oxygen masks were deployed in the main cabin, no injuries were reported. Unusal, as the last couple of these I have attended there have been mass ear drum ruptures.

Thanks for the info, and good to hear injuries were a lot less than the norm.

VZZ is on her way to pick up the pax, the ROK QP would be a rather tired place by now.

 

[ChrisFlyer]

Looks like QF974 finally reached TSV at 10:15pm... These pax could really be in HKG by now!

Now circling just North of Gladstone at 11500 feet!

According to Flightradar... But may not be accurate

How did you know it did that? There is live reporting of the flights?
