No idea; but there was a time when the report on something like this would have simply been "Aircraft missing - Investigation under way."

Aircraft design has come a long way since my youth.

Engineers are investigating what caused the hole - about 2.5m to 3m in diameter - which led to cabin pressure problems.

You don't say

This isn't the first time for a 747.

Some years back a 747 flying near Hawaii lost a large fusealage section in the passenger compartment. one fatality.

A stewardess was sucked out iirc.

That had to be a horrible way to die.

Or even witness.

I remember that! My aunt had been on that plane before it landed in Hawaii. If I remember correctly, it landed to refuel, the new passengers got on, then it fell apart. Scary stuff.
