Some passengers described hearing a loud explosion, seeing debris flying in the air and the plane making a rapid descent.
Melbourne man Steve Winchester recalled the plane taking a dive after hearing an explosion.
"Everyone was just thinking to themselves 'oh I think this is it','' he said.
...
Shortly after take-off there was a mid-air explosion which left a gaping hole in the side of the plane which dropped 20,000 feet before being guided to safety by the pilots.

I'm guessing the sudden dive is just the action taken by the pilots as a measure against the decompression in the plane? Still, it would be a harrowing and frightening experience as a passenger.
If I was on the plane I'd honestly not know wether to put my head between my knees and kiss my @$$ goodbye, or pull out a camera and record the ordeal so I can sell it to a news agency to make some easy $$$
