Qantas issues.
The magazine in question 'Aviation Week & Space Technology' is well regarded in the aviation industry as a good resource for across the board aviation industry news and information.
We are all aware of the many published articles about the Qantas woes. As they tend to be posted in a few places I have started a new thread for this article as it refers to the incidents collectively.

From nose wheel tires bursting to technical glitches and engine faults, Australia’s Qantas has been hit with a spate of technical incidents this past week.
On March 31, one of the airline’s Airbus A380s was grounded after its two nose gear tires burst on landing at Sydney. A huge roar was heard, followed by flames coming from under the aircraft.
The 241 passengers were stranded on the tarmac for nearly two hours before being bussed to the terminal, while engineers investigated the incident. Qantas says the incident was “rare” and has not occurred with its five other A380s.
