A Qantas flight from Singapore to Perth lost altitude abruptly and was forced to land in the state's northwest leaving 46 people injured, including 20 seriously. Captain Wilson says at this stage it seems that the plane dropped a few hundred feet, but he says he has no further details. He says Qantas remains one of the world's best airlines.

Investigators from the Australian Transport Safety Bureau have begun an inevestigation into the mid-air incident.
