Apparently, a Qantas 747-400 has just made an emergency landing in Singapore with an engine fault.

That's quite a coincidence.  :o

I wonder if any of the people originally due to fly on the A380 were bumped to that flight? ;D

This was on the news in the lunch room and a colleague looks concerned and says "Maybe I should cancel that ticket to Japan.." - he's flying on a Lufthansa A380 ;D

Although they use "Engine Alliance" engines - which if you ask me, sounds like the name of some dodgy engine refurb place you'd find on eBay ;D


The GE engines are not as advanced as the Trents
They are now :y

Does make me wonder if someone's been tipping a few bags of Tate & Lyle into the fuel supply. :-?

Possibly RB211s - the predecessor of the Trent range

Another incident of a similar nature and I'd be asking  "Is that one lump or two?"
