Tuesday, July 29 in the news.....
- A QANTAS flight bound for Melbourne was forced to return to Adelaide Airport on Sunday night when the landing gear doors failed to close. The incident came only three days after a Qantas Boeing 747-400 made an emergency landing in Manila after a gaping hole appeared in its fuselage. Many on the flight were angry, but also terrified, of returning to Adelaide to stay and possibly, explore, again. One passenger screamed for the flight to keep going even if it had the potential to crash before landing in Melbourne.
