I said I would do it, so here it is. Apologies to Quantas. ATSB and NTSB investigators now say that an oxygen bottle exploded on board of a Quantas 747-400 causing a huge hole in the bottom part of it's fuselage. They have found an oxygen valve from a tank (second pic) inside the fuselage and now believe it came from the ruptured oxygen tank. Neville Blyth, senior investigator from the Australian Transport and Safety Bureau, told a news conference in Manila "I can't speculate as to indeed the probability of that cylinder having caused the damage" He also went on to add "In the vicinity of the damage, we are missing one cylinder. The areas around the damage will be inspected. We're obviously looking for evidence on where that cylinder may have gone." (Hmm Neville, I wonder where that cylinder may have gone myself. I mean there is absolutely no way it could have fell out of that fucking hole. No way, it's absolutely impossible. Maybe you should check the first class toilet, it could have fell in there.) I guess the questions to ask now would be why this never happened on a 747 before and why did the tank explode? Was it due to overheating? Was the valve or the regulator valve made correctly? Did something fall on the valve and cause it to break (although it must have been something extremely heavy because the guys from Discovery Channel's Mythbusters have broken off a valve from an oxygen tank before and it took quite a significant amount of force.)
