Been on the news here as the third serious Air NZ incident in 3 weeks.
First was the 767 that lost a section of flap.
Second, this B747, dispatched after having (I believe) hydraulic work done and the panel replaced, but only 4 of the 100 or so screws replaced (the engineer signed the work off as completed, his supervisor countersigned it; the panel was marked with red tape to indicate it was u/s. The walkround only visualised lower wing, not upper, so it was missed)
Then this one.
On the local nz.general newsgroup there is a thread suggesting QF and bungs, which I believe is total nonsense, especially since the three events are not related (no. 1 had a Boeing inspection notice issued re. fatigue in the mountings, no. 2 is operational and no. 3 powerplant, not airframe)
Still stranger things have happened.....
