wow.. that would be some scary *stuff*

We were told that one of the rear doors, a hole had blown into it

in other words... ignore the HUGE hole in the wing...
it was the back door.. :-/
some people will lie with their last and dying breath...

'Great job Boeing.. made a tough plane...'

it amazes me that those things can even get airborn.. let alone
stay aloft with a major part of the structure blown apart..

Doesn't this make the second such collision in a month. Last time it was the nose of the plane with a strange circular dent in its nose cone. I looked at the pics of this latest plane and it seemed to be that the metal was pushed inward. IMO it looks like it was hit by a disc shaped object.

Yeah that was supposedly bird damage. I haven't flown in some time. I used to fly quite a bit. But now I don't know getting crowded up there or something..

And I believe Qantas still maintains its record of having never had a plane crash.
