What’s wrong with this story?

A Qantas jumbo jet carrying 345 passengers made an emergency landing Friday with a gaping hole in its fuselage after a mysterious "explosive decompression," officials said. There were no injuries, but some passengers vomited after disembarking the Boeing 747-400, said Octavio Lina, Manila International Airport Authority deputy manager for operations. The cabin’s floor gave way, he said, exposing some of the cargo beneath and part of the ceiling collapsed. "There is a big hole on the right side near the wing," he said, adding it was 7 1/2 feet to 9 feet in diameter.

I can tell you what it is.  This story is completely unpossible!!  Such a thing could never have occurred. 

Why do you ask?

Think back a few years to the whole air marshal debate.  I don’t know how many times I was told that a small hole the size of a pencil caused by air marshals firing wildly at their targets would obviously blow up the whole plane.  Time and time again I was told by people with the air of authority that letting air marshals have guns on board aircraft was the stupidest idea ever.  That merely having a firearm on the plane would mean it had a 50/50 chance of coming down in tiny pieces.

So this must be part of a big conspiracy.  The crew was hypnotized and the aircraft was dismantled on the ground or something.  It’s 9/11 all over again.
