Safe landing for plane with hole

A passenger plane en route from London to Melbourne has made an emergency landing in the Philippines after a large hole appeared in its fuselage.



Qantas Airways said its Boeing 747-400, with 346 passengers and 19 crew, diverted to Manila shortly after leaving Hong Kong and landed safely.



Engineers are investigating what caused the hole - about 2.5m to 3m in diameter - which led to cabin pressure problems.
