Merged: QF 32 Forensic Analysis - 4 Corners
The Four Corners programme on the ABC will provide a forensic analysis of the QF32 event.It will be aired on the 28th March 2011.
It should be much better than the 60 minutes fluff piece aired recently and that is said with the utmost respect and admiration for the pilots involved

QF32: Sarah Ferguson reports on how a tiny faulty engine part almost brought down the pride of the Qantas fleet. What caused the dramatic mid air engine explosion on board the Qantas super jumbo?

Perhaps the mods could change the thread tittle to correct the date.

Unbe-fkn-lievable
First words out of AJs mouth after hearing about the QF32 were something about the share price taking a dive. WTF? Ok, maybe he was the victim of some unkind editing. But IMHO, the words "share price" should never, ever have been mentioned within whispering distance of anyone with a microphone and/or camera. What was he thinking?

un-bloody believable it's a shame Qanats don't allow 4 corners to go to town on it's current maintenance record when it comes to outsourcing and maintenance standards of contract labour that it uses.Qantas have made much larger mistakes than fitting incorrectly bored stub pipes in resent history.What Hypocrits.You would think there would be a lesson there for Qantas that it doesn't take much to bring down an aircraft be it through manufacturing aircraft or maintaining them.

'holic, watch it again!
In fairness to Joyce, the first thing he heard about was the share price falling and when he asked why, was told about QF32.
Bit like doing exams, RTFQ.
G'day

Holic,
Agree, but in fairness I think the context was that he was with his investor relations people at the time and this was the first sign that he was given that something was occurring. The markets had picked up the tweeter about the events as they were unfolding.
cheers

Sorry, gotta disagree .... if he had to share an anecdote about the incident on camera, and it's not like he hasn't had time to think about it, he could have come up with something better than the falling share price.
