You can have mishaps, oxygen cylinders go off, holes in the side and whatever (excluding QF32) but the video shown on the TV tonight of passengers standing around wet while water flooded down the aisle and continuous flow from the ceiling on Qantas's newish A-380 was not a good look at all.

thank you 500n
I've loved "Waltzing Mathilda" for the greater portion of my adult life.
Maybe someone will rename the plane flooding mathilda or simply: Billabong.
(I know the Australians (GOD BLESS THEM) know what a Billabong is, but for those who don't know, its a creek that runs when it rains, and in this plane, when it rains, it pours)

Billabong
Jolly Swagman
Jumbuck
Squatter
Trooper
and park them next to each other !

Just wait for the 30 minute special coming on Today Tonight with Geoffrey Thomas taking a shower in the A380.
"As you can see here, QANTAS is now offering economy class passengers a first (EK) class experience. As you can see this is perfectly safe and passengers should not be alarmed."
Now to get the horrible image of him showering out of my head...

"Today Tonight with Geoffrey Thomas"
He'll probably be on whatever the 9 Breakfast program is tomorrow giving a run down of possible problems that MAY have occurred and how disaster was averted

On the news tonight so not sure how accurate but they said the aircraft is already back in service.
Also, the replacement aircraft that the people flew out on also had a problem !
Q is not having a good time of it.

2nd water leak?
Hey 500N,
Just heard on the 6pm radio news that a second A380 from LAX to MEL had issues as well.
The aircraft was OQA!!
QF allegedly said it was 'minor'
I can't find the source so I have emailed the radio station.
Any sources or links?
Thanks!

QANTAS A380 VH-OQA arrived into Los Angeles as QF93 from Melbourne this morning, then immediately turned around to operate last night’s delayed QF94 Los Angeles – Melbourne.

Only IFE and some power panels plus some emergency stuff are located above the cockpit.The rest is below the cockpit in front of the forward cargo hold.
