A380 QF93 sheds some rubber
Bit of "excitement" around Tulla yesterday. Go arounds a plenty. Bit of rubber left on the tarmac. Can be seen here at about 50 seconds.

I can see nothing abnormal. All tyres seem intact, there is no rubber shred that I can see. The only thing is that he may have mistaken the nose gear as a shredded tyre, it being smaller than the mains.

Must have been a pretty slow day in Tulla for a bit of rubber shredding to cause major excitement. 
Are operations there so boringly regular and consistent, that a bit of rubber on the runway and a few GA's brought all the half-closed eyelids up to fully-open position??

Capn Bloggs - Yes, I would imagine, with the sheer amount of holding patterns going on - as I've experienced in numerous recent SLF flights - there must be quite a number of a/c regularly calling in PAN's due to screaming warnings of low motion-lotion levels. WIII and YBBN come to mind immediately.

I'll be submitting my article to the Age, Australian and Herald Sun for printing tonight. Expecting front page tomorrow!
"Flight from Hell
Melbourne passengers told of their terrible dreadful fear aboard a Foreign bound Qantas flight which was told in no uncertain terms to return to Melbourne yesterday due to large bits falling off.
Some passengers were terrified that the 943 passengers were told few details of the catastrophe.
They said the plane 'Flew slowly with the engines screaming like Shannon Noll trying to sing' before turning around.
As a precaution, fire trucks were on standby when the Airbus A300 landed.
Passenger Bruce Goatman last night was still recovering from the ordeal.
'I was completely terrified until the wheels touched the ground', the passenger said."
Anything involving "The Q" will bring the screamers out... Never mind the details, George, we've got a deadline to meet!

Cheers,
John

You forgot a couple of essential journalistic items :
"The massive jumbo jet loaded with millions of litres of highly inflammable petrol came within a few feet of crashing onto a junior school and would then have continued its death plunge into a crowded shopping centre. An observer on the ground, Mrs. Ima Sillicow, 72, said she could clearly see the grim faces of the heroic pilots as they wrestled with the controls to avert disaster."
