Qantas flight QF32 airbus A380 on board footage of pilot announcing emergency procedure

Flight QF32, which originated in London, was travelling from Singapore to Sydney with 433 passengers and 26 crew on board.

The Airbus A380 superjumbo experienced "a significant engine failure" less than 15 minutes after take-off.

Metal debris - including a piece carrying the airline's famous "flying kangaroo" logo - was recovered by locals on the Indonesian island of Batam.

The Qantas pilot dumped the jet's fuel and returned safely to Singapore's Changi airport. No-one was hurt in the incident.

Inspections of the damaged engine have begun, but the problem has been identified as an "uncontained engine failure".

This looks like the handiwork of the monster that William Shatner and John Lithgow saw on their flights.

@iaf22 he said: "do apoligise, we have an issue with No 2 engine. We have dealt with this situation, the aircraft is secure at this stage, we are going to have to hold at this stage for some time, while we lighten our load, by dumping our load ( fuel ) and some checklists that we have to perform. as you can- im sure you are aware, we arent proceeding to Sydney at this stage, we are making our left hand turn to track back to singapore, and as we progress with this we will get back to

Engine failures are increasingly common with this failing airline. When the NEXT in-air emergency arises on a QANTAS Flight, I want a Professionally-Trained, Long-Experienced, Superior-Quality Aussie Pilot at the helm - & NOT a half-baked, inadequately-trained, inexperienced Asian scab pilot, as that incompetent bloody-minded ratbag Alan Joyce would have us accept.

goodness, it looks like there are holes in the plane.  It really shouldn't be allowed to fly like that.

Learning from mistake, Qantas has chosen the General Electric (GE) GEnx engines to power its upcoming Boeing 787 fleet in mid 2012.

Bad Rolls-Royce company. They better stick with GE engines.
