Qantas Jet Hole

Qantas jet probe links hole with supermodel locked in the hold

A possible explosive temper tantrum from supermodel Naomi Campbell, who had been locked in the hold for the safety of other passengers, may have been the cause of a huge hole that appeared in the Qantas Boeing 747 plane. Miss Campbell had been locked in the hold as a precaution, as she looked a 'bit stroppy' as she boarded the plane. She had complained that she had lost luggage in the past and didn't want to be separated from it and the crew complied with her wish.

The plane was flying to Melbourne when it had to make an emergency landing in the Philippines on Friday. Passengers reported loud banging and possibly swearing . It appears to have been loud enough to have woken passengers who were sleeping. The crew handed out ear-plugs immediately, but then there was rapid decompression of the cabin.

Investigator Neville Blyth said that Miss Campbell was the only thing missing from the plane when it landed, but it's still "too early to say whether she was the cause of the hole." He confirmed that a jewel-encrusted mobile phone and BlackBerry Personal Organiser had been found by the hole. Mr Blyth added that they were checking the runway as it wouldn't be the first time she had taken a tumble on one.

Her PA has been informed that Miss Campbell is missing and the shock has left her face stuck with a permanent grin.

"At this stage, there is no evidence whatsoever that this is just the plane falling to bits," Mr Blyth, a senior investigator from the Australian Transport and Safety Bureau, told a news conference in Manila.

"Philippine bomb-sniffing dogs have gone through the hold and found no indication of explosives or bomb residues, but did pick up the scent of Cat Deluxe At Night," Mr Blyth said.

Qantas has been told to inspect the whole of its Boeing 747 fleet for temperamental passengers.
