Just caught the news on channel 9. It would appear that the engine blew a large hole in the casing, was on fire for at least half a hour,???? and the PAX thought they were all going to die. QFs safety record is now in tatters (please note dear folk, I am repeating it word for word) and it has never happened to any other aircraft or any other airline (Dear God) so there you go, learn something every day. It finished off with how wonderful the pilot was and the cabin crew, so I suppose there is some praise there, the rest is pure crap. Yes it happened, the turbine obviously shat itself, shame about the cowling, still three donks. NEXT!
