QF 747 Grounded

I'm sorry, but I think you're being completely irrational here. Do you also remember the announcement at the start of the flight that overhead luggage has the tendency to move during flight and caution should be exercised when opening bins at all times? How is this news? It's not. :evil:

Err...right

Rather than create another thread:

NoNews Ltd are now reporting on QF2 being delayed for 12 hours due to a "rudder" problem.

Qantas flight delayed by rudder trouble | The Courier-Mail

IN yet another Qantas safety scare, a London-to-Sydney flight has been delayed by more than 15 hours because of a problem with the plane's rudder.

The airline today confirmed that flight QF2, scheduled to leave London's Heathrow airport at 7.15am (Queensland time), had been grounded following a "technical issue".

The flight is now scheduled to leave at 10.30pm.

Ummmm.... suspect maninblack was actually joking. Detected tongue in cheek.

Landing at SYD on 16L yesterday the pilot hit the brakes a bit hard I reckon and the plane jerked somewhat, I heard a clunk in the overhead locker. The guy behind me opened it at the gate and a bubble-wrapped bottle of wine fell out narrowly missing my head and another passenger.

I was going to report it to the papers.

"Head injuries narrowly averted after by fast thinking passenger after out of control Qantas jet lands dangerously at Sydney airport."

By the way the aircraft was a Boeing A330-400!

Here's a picture to go with the story.
