Qantas engine 'blew up' on flight from LA to Melbourne | Daily Mail Online

No injuries or major damage by the looks of it.

Wonder what the flow on effect across the system will be?

All depends on where Airbus has spares.
QF has an A380 maintenance hanger at LAX

Is the Daily Fail using "explosion" to try to make people think QF32?

 

[moa999]

Suspect so.
As jb747 says in the Qantas delays/cancellations thread a combustion engine is always 'on fire'

Passengers on social media bagging Qantas for the delays. Seriously! I am the first to get cranky about delays, but in this case I would just be grateful to just have had the incident handled safely and be alive and well.

Yes 480 passengers should be greatful that they landed safely. Losing one or two days out of about 30,000 happens sometimes.

No injuries or major damage by the looks of it.

Can't have been much of an explosion then, could it?

Agree and its usual media exaggeration and sensationalism at play.

Channel 7 is in fine form tonight. Qantas, ATSB and Boeing are investigating, apparently.

Boeing is investigating something that happened on an Airbus?

That was the point of my post. Great journalism!

 

[jb747]

Or even Airbus investigating something that happened in a Rolls Royce.

I understand that there is a picture circulating, purporting to be of this engine, but which is actually of QF32 up in Singapore.
