Looks like a bit of a scare for passengers today on QF2420
www.news.com.au
Issues with the Dash 8's landing gear were reportedly the cause. FR24 shows that the pilots spent a good hour apparently holding while they worked on it around Moreton Island so more than likely the article is a bit overdramatised, passengers would have certainly been aware of the fault well before the landing, but a nervous landing nonetheless.
What caused Qantas’ emergency landing
A Qantaslink flight heading to Brisbane from Newcastle has been forced to make an emergency landing, with cabin crew overhead yelling “brace, brace, brace” to passengers on-board.
