A BALLARAT woman had a lucky escape on a Qantas
jumbo after its engine exploded above the Pacific Ocean on Monday.
Renee Kenyon was among 212 passengers on board the 747-400 aircraft when its engine exploded.
The jumbo was about 150 kilometres into the flight from San Francisco to Sydney.
Ms Kenyon arrived in Sydney today after taking another flight out of the US.
More to come.
