At least they had early confirmation that their bags were in fact on the same plane... ;D

Amateur footage of the landing. Guessing that checking all electronic equipment was turned off for landing was rather low on the crew's list of priorities at the time ;)

Having repacked all the O2 masks on an A320 due to a wardrobe malfunction finger malfunction, I am not at all envious of the the Qantas guys, 500 plus masks and O2 generators to replace. Big job. Almost as long as the patch repair the skin needs.
