QF 767 Narita
Whilst we're on the topic of Qantas failures and blunders, surely this near catastrophe rates a mention.
It's stayed underground for over 12 months....
Circa May/June 2007 a QF 767 bound for Aus, rotated below Vr on the short runway in Narita (possibly because the runway rushed up too quickly to greet them, and probably because they were in the red zone) and could have taken out a suburb of Narita in the process...
