VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - A scary morning for passengers on a Cathay Pacific 747 jet, as it suffered some unspecified damage while descending into YVR early this morning.
It landed safely, and none of the 363 passengers aboard the jet were hurt.
Jennifer Pearson, speaking for Cathay Pacific says the plane was en route from New York when something went wrong.
She couldn't say exactly what happened and an investigation is under way, but one report says an external panel on the fuselage had popped off.
Pearson says arrangements are being made to get the passengers on another plane to continue their journey to Hong Kong.
Last Friday, a Quantas jet had to make an emergency landing in Manila after an explosion punched a three-metre hole in the fuselage.
