What: Qatar Airways QR821 Airbus A330-200 en route from Osaka to Doha
Where: Emergency landing at Kashgar airport in China’s Xinjiang region
When: 6:35 am Thursday
Who: 174 passengers and 20 crew
Why: The airbus plunged 9,000 meters in five minutes, experiencing a loss in cabin pressure but landed safely. All the passengers and their luggage left Kashi at around 9 p.m. Thursday on another Qatar Airways flight. The mechanical failure was repaired and the Airbus left the airport on Friday
Why show an image of an A380 when the aircraft involved was a different model?
