#QF72
Disaster strikes high above the ocean, as a Qantas Airbus A330 on its way from Singapore to Perth, dips into a terrifying dive. Passengers are thrown into the ceiling and badly injured, while the pilots are hanging on for dear life. Nobody knows what is causing the plane’s violent behaviour, or, if it will stop before they hit the ocean below. This is an incredible tale where science fiction meets horror. And, I’ve invited the captain himself, to tell the story. This is the story, of Qantas, flight 72.
