It seems that in a great many recent flight dramas pilots with military training have luckily been there to save the day through extraordinary skill and calm thinking.

That was a flight from Hawaii to NZ. The entire side of the plane blew off taking with it 9 passengers. The cause was avoidable because the aircraft maker had been warned for using a defective cargo dOor system which had a tendency to unlock by its own accord. When this happened at 33000 ft at speed the fuselage ripped open like a can of sardines. The NTSB tried to cover up the reasons for the "accident" but were embarrassingly caught out by the parents of one of the victims wh stole the records detailing the history f defects from the aircraft makers during a coffee break in the course of the investigatory prceedings. You learn a lot from watching Air Crash Investigations!

BBC News - Second Qantas jet in engine scare
The second one in as many days!
Anyone else think that the Qantas guy is a bit (suspiciously) quick off the mark with his comments about it being an "engine issue" with the investigation barely in it's infancy???
