• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Qantas A380 damage photos. They were really lucky to survive!

Bernt:

Thanks for the very informative link. Crikey indeed. Had the same incident occured over (big) water time and fuel, plus the imbalance caused by the tank leak might not have permitted a sucessful conclusion.

QANTAS has been lucky in their bad luck, so far.

Fly safely and keep up the good work:

I'll echo that, thanks for the link.

Makes chilling reading, half a dozen total hull loss scenarios in there.

It was not their time, is about all you can say.
 
It is fair to suggest that Qantas needs to review relationships with engine manufacturers in which it pays for power by-the-hour and leaves much of the maintenance and oversight of those engines to the designer and manufacturer.

That's pretty trusting on Qantas' part to let the manufacturer take care of the engines.
