A bearing in one engine blew up just 30minutes into the National Jet flight from Newman to Perth about 2pm.
Maybe about 12 minutes after off blocks ....
part of its engine blew up in mid-air.
OOOhhhh, sounds sooo dramatic!!
The plane circled to burn up fuel before landing safely.
If joining upwind and flying a circuit equals "circled to burn up fuel", then I s'pose that is correct.
the services were activated not from newman but from njs operations
At last some correct reporting....
As with most newspaper articles, don't believe everything you read...
I'd hate to see what people on pprune would write after having read a full report, with all the information they contain, as opposed to a newspaper snippet which gives very little facts...
