Default QF32? - A380 Emergency Landing at Changi

Just heard on 2Gb that an A380 had red and white panels fall off in flight and landed at Changi.

Any info?

Default QF32 returns to Changi with engine problem 4/11/10

Full article here: http://www.smh.com.au/world/qantas-j...104-17f49.html

Got a bit concerned after @flightblogger on Twitter sent the following message:

FLASH: Reports coming out indicating a QANTAS A380 has crashed in Indonesia enroute to Singapore.

Twitter then erupted with a lot of conflicting reports about the incident, debris being found in Indonesia etc.

Amazing how quickly information (and misinformation) can spread!

Just noticed in the article "Looked like a big plane. Like a Boeing 737-400...

Just glad it wasn't something more serious, like people were expecting.

According to PlanePlotter, pick up a HFDL transmission from VH-OQA QFA32 LHR to SYD over Singapore.

So, is there another plane that crashed, or just all speculation?

The photo shows what appears to be part of an engine cowling - must have been a rather big failure.

Reports on ABC TV 24 say that it has landed safely.

From News Ltd

"Reports are still sketchy but authorities in Indonesia and Singapore have confirmed the plane, an Airbus 380, is now on the ground in Singapore."

Initial reports were very wrong.

As Dan mentions re: information and mis-information. It can be very dangerous and upsetting I am sure to anyone that knew of pax on the flight.

Main thing, its a good result.
