Laptop possible cause for Qantas plunge
The Qantas Airbus that plunged approximately 5,000 feet in 5 seconds causing over 70 people to be injured, may have had it's instrumental devices hampered by a Laptop or Mobile phone.
Recently a passenger using a wireless mouse sent a Qantas plane 3 degrees off course, an Australian Transport Safety Bureau report revealed.
The enquiry is said to take up to 6 months to fully determine the potential factors and causes of the drop in altitude.
Passengers from the plane said that this realised the worst fear of flying, with many thinking they were about to die.
