Interesting photo - Q A380, water in aisle
 

Don't normally post minor things but saw this photo in the Age of the LA Qantas A380 that turned back after a waterpipe burst.

Looks like a lot of water flowing down the aisle.

Wow, looks bad. Keep that away from the E and E Compartment......

Seriously, with that much water running down the aisle and into the economy deck below, how can Qantas have the balls to say

These A380's seems to have a high level of odd failures......

Should of never got to the stage it did if the cabin crew just shut off the water supply, that's a fair bit of water that I have just seen on the video!!

Not a big deal. I'm sure it'll fix itself.

Blue Sky beat me to it, but I'm sure Alan does not need any LAMEs to fix this, as all these new aircraft fix themselves,

I didn't realize the water also flowed from the ceiling onto those on the lower level.
That makes it worse than I first thought.

I think it's already been done, "Lakes on a plane". ;)

All the talk of 'self healing' aircraft, how about Airbus stigmata!

Water in the cabin
 

Well done Qantas management.Who do you think is going to believe you.Water in the cabin is a safety issue

Yeah, no need for preventative maintenance, just fix on fail. Seem to be getting a lot of fails these days No matter, we saved enough to give the CEO a bigger bonus, and employ some more PR dweebs to handle any fallout.

Didn't know the A380 had a swimming pool...

^^^^^^^^^ A lot worse than I thought.

What I don't get is how could that leak turn the seats that horrible green colour?

They aren't quite that bad (the camera seems to add a Green tinge to the photo) but they aren't that nice a colour either !

In other news Qantas sends passengers a bill for the extra amenity of a waterfall and stream on their flight. Touts new levels of passenger comfort Qantas spokesman trumpets Qantas's world class innovation and pushing the boundaries in customer satisfaction. Says other Airlines will find this hard to follow.

We now provide something no one else does, a free bath / shower on your flight to or from LA !

Looks more like Air India.

yeah! it's one-up-man-ship on their 'partner' airline - they only provide showers in first class

Aside from electronics damage which could be catastrophic, especially in a bus, is there sufficient potable water carried on board that should it accumulate at the very aft (or nose) it could take it out of CofG limits?
