Qantas Airbus A380 escapes crash, lands with burned out engine

All Qantas airlines airbus flights have been suspended, after an A380 jet was forced to make an emergency landing in Singapore. Part of the plane's engine-cover fell off mid-flight. The airliner bound for Sydney was carrying more than 450 people. The engine cut out over Indonesia, shortly after take-off from Singapore. Witnesses on a nearby island say they heard a huge blast and found pieces of debris. The double-decker A380 is the largest passenger plane in the world.

@asshatnowhere159 A pipe within the engine was not cut straight - making part of the pipe weak, and on take off from LAX it crack and then when taking off from singapore it let fuel into the hottest part of the engine which then started a fire
