Qantas A380 Engine Failure Footage from the passenger view (4 nov 2010)

The footage of the engine failure from the passenger view
The story :SYDNEY - AUSTRALIA'S Qantas Airways grounded its fleet of Airbus A380 superjumbos on Thursday after an engine failure forced a dramatic emergency landing in Singapore.

Chief executive Alan Joyce said Qantas's six A380s - the flagship of its 191-strong fleet - had been suspended from take-off pending investigations into the incident.

'We have decided that we will suspend all A380 take-offs until we're fully comfortable that sufficient information has been obtained about QF32,' Mr Joyce told reporters in Sydney.

Mr Joyce said the plane experienced engine trouble just six minutes into its flight from Singapore to Sydney, before turning back and landing at the city-state's Changi Airport. The double-decker plane, carrying 433 passengers and 26 crew, dumped fuel over Indonesia before returning to Singapore.

Qantas was earlier forced to deny media reports that the plane had crashed. However, Mr Joyce said the incident would not affect an order for more of the giant aircraft.

'We have orders for over 20 aircraft. Those aircraft will continue to arrive,' he said. -- AFP

kudos to the pilots for remaining professional and getting back to the ground safe and sound

i dont know why is this hostility against airbus, people should just get their heads out of ther behinds, the plane got down, in one piece, and they didnt even need to run away from it, all this, with a blown up RR engine, i think that Airbuses are miraculously engineered machines. Boeing has an equal record compared to AB, but they arent bad planes either. They are different, and people just hate change, and americans hate it when europe makes something thats on par with their product

@today05 americans have inferiority complex and wants to dominate everything but unfortunately they are ignorant all they the time. which is a good thing for the rest of the world ^^

[zaneacademy]

He forgot to say: "...and don't worry about the hole in the wing..." :)

[christoffNY]

True chilled out aussie there, what you all missed at the start of the video was the captain saying 'its gonna be fine, we've got some shrimps on the barbie in the back' haha

@today05 This is true i do not like it :( and i dont see why people are blaming airbus although i can say GO BOEING but its RR fault airbus didnt make the faulty engines so now its time to shift to the GE Vs. RR Vs. PW. Let the battles begin!!!! >: )

@today05 that's what it's all about, no one wants to lose the top spot, so they do this kind of sabatoge to other companies. yea, yea, i also read about the micro-cracks in some of the a380's wings beams that hold the aluminum to them, but they are minor enough to be addressed in 4 yrs, this is an awesome aircraft, move over boeing, that top spot is coming loose.

[joejeep03]

@iammrprince yea, but you could hear some stress in his voice.

@rawdyrider *rolls eyes* They had to dump fuel to get to a safe landing weight.
