https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qantas_Flight_30

Qantas Flight 30 (QF30, QFA30) was a Qantas Boeing 747-438, construction number 25067, registered in Australia as VH-OJK. QF30 was a scheduled flight from London Heathrow Airport to Melbourne Airport with a stopover in Hong Kong International Airport on 25 July 2008. The flight was interrupted when an oxygen tank exploded causing a fuselage rupture just forward of the starboard wing root. There were no injuries and the plane made an emergency descent to a breathable altitude of about 10,000 feet and eventually made an emergency landing at Ninoy Aquino International Airport, Metro Manila, Philippines.

The kicker ...

The aircraft was eventually returned to service on 15 January 2009 but retired from service at the end of 2009.

In October 2011 the aircraft was re-registered to Nigerian Airline MaxAir, under registration code 5N-HMB.
Remind me never to fly MaxAir.

Ah, Rippednew1. It's all coming back to me now. Suddenly recalling a few very interesting exchanges with that alias.

And who can forget NMFC Est 1869? (Well, me for a start.) Had a major thing for Lachie, and would get systematically rippedanew1 by Nice Cunnington when he inevitably weighed in with his unrelenting Hansenism after every game. Good times, etc.

Anyways, top work, mate.

(And of course I knew it wouldn't have been The Bilk Wizard who did the dispatching. The closest that bloke has come to Modding in the last 5 years is watching a re-run of Quadrophenia.)
I'd almost forgotten about Spurk/RN1 (previously Top4Potential?). What a knob. A real f***ing knob. One of the very few that you just know is a d*ckhead in real (non-internet forum) life.

And yes, if he truly did find Tef, I suspect he would wish that he hadn't.

Yeah, that would have been the wrong move.

Hey North fans, unlucky on the weekend.
Umpiring was terrible.
I was cheering for you blokes.
Random question, who do you think will poll more out of Ziebell and Higgins?
Seems very close between the two.
