well well another attack on qantas. well for ur info, qantas ONLY EVER GOES over seas if facilities here in aus are full with qantas aircraft having their checks. i bet u fly on planes serviced in worse places and wouldnt think twice. oxy bottle, major malfunction, most likely not their fault as with this incident, possible cause radio comms from airforce/millitary base near by, near where they landed as well as on board interference, all unlikely but is being looked into

Eg: maybe I won't have to have some person who can't manage their time better type away profusely or worse still, hopefully we will be spared the ridiculous (upcoming) train-like or bus-like mobile phone conversations on flights. Fingers crossed :)

It is a Qantas REQUIREMENT, your asking to get hurt!
