POST 103 FROM Bergerie
And one more to ponder: the Qantas Airbus A380 at Singapore when a turbine disc exploded causing extensive damage and multiple unrelated warnings. In what order should the crew action the various procedures, which should be ignored and which have to be actioned?

Bergerie
This warrants its own thread I think since in some ways it is the root of everything we are discussing here. QF had 64 (I think) different failures. Safe landing a long time later. Amazing bunch of highly qualified guys on the flight deck including an expert on systems. No fire.
1968. GARWE BOAC 707 takes off from LHR with severe engine failure and fire. A bit like Concorde. Back on ground in something like 5 minutes. Plane burned out but many survived. All would have died if captain had started doing "procedures". He knew the plane would not survive too long and landed.
Interesting isn't it and worthy of discussion perhaps elsewhere?
