Full article, video and pictures HERE.A Daallo Airlines Airbus A321-100, registration SX-BHS performing flight D3-159 from Mogadishu (Somalia) to Djibouti (Djibouti) with 74 passengers and 7 crew, was climbing out of Mogadishu about 5 minutes into the flight when an explosion was heard. The crew stopped the climb and returned the aircraft to Mogadishu for a safe landing about 20 minutes after departure. A large hole was seen at the right hand side of the fuselage above the wing. Three occupants were taken to hospitals with injuries.

Hole seems to be about a metre high by about 50cm wide. Respectable size.
Patch it up and away we go. Bit of gaffa tape will fix that.

I am becoming more impressed with the cheap composite crackerbox. It seems to be surviving a lot of things largely in-tact in contrast with "other incidents".
Keep layering your fiberglass and your dent-repair bondo and you get a light weight material stronger than steel, right? (Just lay off the rudder)
Hopefully the "passenger sucked out" was a bad guy.

Fixed.Keep layering your fiberglass and your dent-repair bondo and you get a light weight material stronger than steel, right? (Just lay off the rudder and try to maintain fat, dumb and happy speeds and attitudes).
