A Quantas 747 jet made an emergency landing after a giant hole ripped open on the side of the plane. Perhaps this sort of thing happens all the time, but what made this experience so trend worthy was the fact that passengers have uploaded their frightening in-cabin videos to YouTube.
With video becoming ubiquitous, we can expect this kind of footage to be more predominant in all sorts of disasters.
It's quite a shocking video. What makes the video even more intense is that the passengers didn't realize they would land safely.
