Qantas denies reports of jet engine fire
Seems a bit strange that this has been moved to General Aviation & Questions..... would have thought this was the exact stuff suited to the main Aussie Forum
Anyway that aside, I love this bit in the SMH:
Qantas denies reports of jet engine fire

"According to official reports there was no fire and there was no smoke. What they could have seen might have been a flare from the engine but definitely no fire."
I just think it is great that the
PR/Spin person etc thinks that it is more important to talk about fire/no fire.... either way the engine isn't working mate!.
Surely its a bit like saying -" yeah the engine fell off the wing, but thats ok, cause there was no fire".
Caveat for the anal retentive types: And yes I am aware an uncontrollable fire is a different story
