Doesn't look good
especially the scar erupting from the upper surface of the wing just behind the leading edge. It looks at though pieces of the engine went everywhere. Not exactly contained.

The interview with Joyce was fairly basic, covering the type of questions the general public would ask and want answered.
The part I found interesting was joyce's statement that the aircraft had three Captains on board.
Two scenRio's, he doesn't know the difference between a "Captain" and the rest of the flight crew, which would highlight his compete ignorance re his staff and their roles within the company. ( shameful), or there were three Captains onboard. how often would that happen?

So does this mean that every damaged bungalo on the island will have a claim against QF for repairs?
Looking at the brick debris on the chair its quite possible that wall was hit by the large rotor disc pictured further up!

Although it would appear the Crew handled it in text book fashion, it again shows how you want the guys and gals up front to have plenty of experience and hours under their belt when a problem strikes.
I hope the Little Fella and Boston Bruce are thinking more deeply about that.

And why would the larger gear doors at the front of the nose gear bay still be open? I would assume they are closed while the gear is extended and only open during the extension.
If you see the video on the ground you will see what I mean.
Wonder what other problems may have resulted.

CK, SQ has Trents but Emirates has Alliance Engines.
I don't think that SQ will ground their A380's.
Skynews, the sectors between Oz and Singapore are often used for training of pilots under conversion so it's probable that one captain was a Check & Training Captain who was supervising a Captain new to the type. There are quite a few Captains undergoing conversion now in time for the delivery of the next four A380's scheduled Nov through Feb.

Interesting. Joyce stated that all 380's, in answer to a question about other operators, had RR's. I certainly took his response to mean exactly that that all 380' flying were on RR's

i can understand an uncontained failure throwing parts through the leading edge panels, but it looks like a part has penetrated what i thought would have been structural wing plank area! (the dark grey area)

You can see a big hole in the turbine region. Definitely a turbine failure. Most likely HP from the pictures of the disk. Those Guys don't know how lucky they really are. There was some movie of the plane flying from the back with what looked like a lot of fuel trailing the inboard area. Most likely from the big hole the departing turbine disk left.
When will QF's luck run out.
If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. Bring all maintenance back onshore.
