Bulkhead rupture sends plane on 5-mile drop
• y Ricfcord Pyte
Assoc kited Press Writer
TOKYO (AP) - A rear
bulkhead rupture caused the
loss of pressure and control that
sent a Thai airliner into a fivemile plunge in which 62 of the
247 people aboard were injured,
a Japanese investigator said
Monday.
The A-300 Airbus made an
emergency landing at Osaka
after the near-disaster Sunday
night.
Hiroshi Fujiwara, deputy
chief investigator of Japan's
Aviation Accident Investigation
Commission, told reporters
after inspecting the plane that it
had ruptures in the rear
pressure bulkhead that left a
pattern like a pie cut into three
pieces. The rear bulkhead
divides the passenger cabin
from the non-pressurized tail
section.
Air from the cabin of the Thai
Airways International jet
escaped through a pressure
relief door in the tail section,
Fujiwara said.
He would not comment oh
what might have caused the
bulkhead rupture.
Officials of the Thai airline
told a news conference in
Bangkok that the pilot of Flight
620, was bound from Bangkok to
Osaka via Manila, reported
hearing a loud "bang" in the
rear of the plane at 33,000 feet,
then lost two of the three
hydraulic systems used to control the flaps and rudder.
"So he decided to make an
emergency landing," said Capt.
Yothin Pamornmontri, the vice
president for operations.
He said one passenger was
rescued after being sucked into
the cargo compartment during
the wild descent.
Five people were taken to
hospitals with what were
described as serious injuries, including broken bones.
Chatrachai Bunya-ananta,
Thai International's executive
vice president, said the airline
had not received threats that
might suggest sabotage. He said
the plane was the newest of the
state airline's wide-bodied A
300s, in service only two weeks.
The Airbus is made by a consortium of five European companies. The model involved in
the Osaka accident can carry 247
passengers.
