Don't let facts get in the way of a good story! I don't even bother reading any news article about aviation through these websites, always total BS!

A question for those in the know, would Auckland have been within range?
At least the aircraft would have been much closer to home with A380 support available.

With 2 pumps going u/s on the same flight, I wonder how it was determined that others wouldn't fail as well due to contaminated fuel or some other unknown issue?


I am not a 380 LAME, wondering if there is any gravity feed system to the engines.


Unless they knew what the problem was, I am thinking that a landing in HNL would appear to have been more appropriate.
