Qantas Flight 30 on 25 July 2008 was a Qantas flight from London Heathrow Airport to Melbourne Airport with a scheduled stop at Hong Kong International Airport. The flight was interrupted because of a sudden break of the hull of the plane. There were no injuries, and the plane, a Boeing 747, made an emergency landing at Manila Airport.
The flight left Hong Kong on 25 July at 1:00 am GMT. About an hour later, passengers heard a loud boom; the cabin depressurized and a hole in the floor of the passenger deck became visible, as well as a hole in the outside wall of the cargo deck. Photographs taken after landing show a hole with a diameter of about 3 meters immediately in front of the right wing. Currently, nothing is known about the cause of the incident.
