Question Thai 777 fuel leak, e-landing at Danang Vietnam?

'HANOI (AFP): Thai Airways is investigating a fuel leak on a Boeing 777 which forced it to make an emergency landing in central Vietnam, airline officials said today.

The aircraft landed in Vietnam's third city of Danang early yesterday after the pilot reported plummeting fuel levels on a flight from Taipei to Bangkok, the officials said.

Aviation fuel leaked all over the runway, but all 307 passengers and 19 crew were safely evacuated.

They were flown on to Bangkok in a different aircraft later in the day. '


Anyone know anything about this incident, it happened on about the 5th of June this year.
cheers
