Investigators are asking passengers of the Qantas A330-300 that plunged out-of-control over Western Australia if they were using lap tops just prior to the plane's problems. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) says that an "irregularity" in one of the aircraft's computers may have caused the dramatic altitude change that left 74 passengers injured. Last July, it was claimed that it was a passenger clicking a wireless mouse during a flight sent a Qantas jumbo jet off course.
