Blame game?
Funny how on the first couple of pages on this thread the usual suspects started bagging Qantas management. "Cheap Asian maintenance and Qantas bean counters caused this incident, our professional engineers in Australia would never sign out such an aircraft." Oh look, it was actually maintained here in Australia. Deafening silence.
Have a look at the threads after the 744 electrical bus failure a few months ago. Same initial whingeing. "Must have been cheap Asian workers with their staple guns that nearly caused our plane to crash". Whoops, looky here, it was just checked out in Avalon. (Please, don't take my word for it, go and look at the threads yourself.)
Everyone is so eager to lay blame where it suits them it could be mistaken for an American litigators convention.
Congratulations to the flight crew, cabin crew, and passengers for staying calm and getting so many of our countrymen back down safely.
