A6-EDA, Emirates A380 AOG due to Shower Burnout?
Apparently, kiddies-and-armchairCEOs.net reports that the Emirates A380 experience has been grounded.
What's more of a highlight is that supposedly it's because some avionics were blown out by the shower heating system.
Any comrades in the Sandpit able to confirm ?

It's a new aeroplane boys and girls... Of course it'll have teething problems
Have you designed something with over a million different parts recently??
No? Thought not....
Oh yeah, where's that 'plastic fantastic' out of Seattle gone too????? (5 ? marks)

Disparaging those that report the news and those that discuss the news doesn't overcome the facts, whether those facts are 'news' (worthy of Pprune) or not.

Unfit for Purpose
The A380 is not a "new" aircraft... It's a hugely late and over-budget white elephant that is just "unift for purpose". That's what happens when you let ego get in the way of common sense.
Three-and-a-half years since first flight, two airline operators and one ridiculous farce of a project.
Faulty showers/Fawlty Towers...

That'll include Boeing then E-B........
It was the same when the ATP, A320 came out etc., whenever there has been a leap forward in technology in aircraft systems etc there have been the enevitable delays and problems.
And by the way from what an EK engineer told me it wasn't the shower unit, personally I think Airbus have done a hell of a job on the 380, now where's the 787............

Why on earth does any slightly critical thread about an A380 bring out all these silly anti boeing comments?
Poster A. "Something's wrong with the A380"
Poster B. "Yeah well Boeings are crap"

There is no doubt you Spotters can get totally out of control if left unmonitored. Is this thread really about a bloody immersion heater going out on an A380 or a bit of minor ramp rash? And it becomes a Boeing v Airbus 'which is better' argument? Some growing up is needed here. This sort of rubbish discussion is better off at that stupid other website full of teenies getting off on talking about aeroplanes! Grow up chaps!

Can we all just take a minute to think about the poor caterer who drove his truck into Emirate's new pride & joy. 
If that was me I think.. "I'll get me coat!" would be in order
