I love the quote in this SMH article (bolding mine):
Quote:
"It looked like a big plane. Like a Boeing 737–400. It looks like Qantas because of the red and white colour."

What engines does the A380 have? Looks like it is making an emergency landing back in Singapore

Yes. IFSDs are not uncommon occurances. If this was an uncontained failure (i.e. parts liberated and were not contained by the nacelle), that is a much rarer (and more serious) situation.Originally Posted by wijomas

A Qantas plane has made an emergency landing at Singapore airport, Indonesian authorities say.
Indonesian media reports on Thursday said there had been some sort of explosion over the Indonesian island of Batam, near Singapore, at about 9.15am local time.
Tatang Kurnia, head of Indonesia's Transportation Safety Board, said the explosion came from a Qantas plane that had just lifted off from Singapore.
"We've been informed from Singapore that a Qantas plane overflying the area defuelled and then made an emergency landing back in Singapore," he told MetroTV.

Initial reports assumed that it was a crash because red and white engine pieces had been found near a shopping mall in Batam (just across the strait from Singapore in Indonesia).Originally Posted by PresRDC

Let's hope everyone is safe.
Apparently it's circling while dumping fuel - http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stori...091283/1/.html

Qantas denies reports of Indonesia plane crash
Qantas denied reports that one of its planes had crashed, saying a passenger flight had experienced engine trouble and was returning to Singapore airport.
"There has not been a crash," a spokeswoman said, adding that flight QF32 had been forced to shut down one engine and was expected to land in Singapore soon.

Looks like 'just a routine engine issue' - Qantas seems to have a few of these in recent times!!!!

RR Trent 900; number 2 engine was shutdown and fuel dumped for landing back at SIN. No indication that the volcanic eruption was involved as the cause; we'll see. I guess a week's worth of A380 flights will get 744 substitutions now Originally Posted by Supersonic Swinger
