A Qantas flight from Adelaide to Canberra was on March 5 forced to divert and make an emergency landing in Melbourne following a mid-air incident reportedly caused by “pressurisation issues.”
Flight QF706 made it to Melbourne safely just after 8.00am AET after making an emergency diversion due to a “loud bang” heard coming from the rear of the plane, which caused the aircraft to rapidly plunge 15,000 feet (4,572 metres).
