MANILA, Philippines (AP) - Authorities have found what may be
key evidence in the investigation of last week's mid-air explosion
aboard a Qantas jumbo jet.
A valve and other fragments that could be from a missing oxygen
tank have been found inside the jet.
An Australian safety investigator says the pieces were found
close to where the missing tank was stored beneath the passenger
cabin. Neville Blyth says they will be tested to see if they came
from the tank, which is designed to provide passengers emergency
oxygen.
The missing tank has become the focus of the probe into what
tore open a car-sized hole in the plane's fuselage at 29,000 feet
and forced an emergency landing in the Philippines.
