A Qantas passenger jet has been forced to make an emergency landing at Adelaide airport after a door opened during a flight to Melbourne, according to reports by AFP.
The Boeing 737-800 took off safely from Adelaide but returned 37 minutes later after the mid-air drama.
It comes just three days after another Qantas airliner made an emergency landing in Manila after its fuselage was ripped open mid-flight.

According to the BBC it was just a small problem with one of the landing gear doors which would not close so they returned to the airport.

If the two airplanes nearly missed I would assume they crashed or were damaged. If they nearly crashed/collided I would assume no damage. Decker?
