A Qantas Airways plane had to make an emergency landing in its flight from Hong Kong to Melbourne in the Philippines on Friday due to the fact that it had a hole in the fuselage and the cabin lost pressure suddenly.

The plane landed in Manila and all the 346 passengers and 19 crew members left the plane in safe conditions. Experts from the Australian Transportation Safety Bureau and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority are on their way to Manila for an inspection of the aircraft. The Qantas flight QF30 took off from Hong Kong at 9:00am (0100 GMT) and was suppose to land in Melbourne at 1145 GMT according to the Qantas Airways website.

Passengers of the Boeing 747 on their way to Melbourne gave their accounts of the incident.

"There was an almighty crack," one passenger said. "We dropped a bit in the air, but other than that it was fine."

"There was wind swirling around the plane and some condensation," Marina Scaffidi, 39, from Melbourne, told The Associated Press. The hole extended from the cargo compartment into the passenger cabin. The flight landed at Manila International Airport around 11:15 a.m. (11:15 p.m. ET Thursday).

Authorities said there were no reports of injuries among the passengers. Oxygen masks were deployed during the emergency and passengers said their years popped because of the plane's rapid descent to a lower altitude and a higher pressure. Some of the passengers vomited after getting out of the plane in Manila.

After the plane landed, the airport personnel and the pilots could see a large hole where the leading edge of the wing attaches to the fuselage.
