How about a fact Jack

Precautionary shutdown on a non rev flight due dropping oil quantity. When the engineer opened the cowl it left a bit of a mess on the ground. Crew did exactly what they are trained for. Missed all pre schools & nursing homes, however it did leave a bit of 2380 over northern NSW.
Engineers identified the problem, part replaced and the plane flew the next morning.

Explosion, No
Emergency Landing, No

The most excited person was the approach controller who had the Jetgo Pan followed by the Virgin Pan straight after requesting an immediate return.
