SINGAPORE — A Qantas Boeing 747 with 431 people on board returned to Singapore with an engine problem shortly after takeoff Friday, a local TV station reported.
Channel News Asia quoted Qantas as saying that flight QF6 operating from Singapore to Sydney "experienced an issue with its number 1 engine" shortly after takeoff.
Qantas added that as a precaution, the captain of the jumbo jet sought priority clearance to return to Singapore, CNA reported. The aircraft landed safely, it said.

A netters are really making fun of Qantas...
One wrote too bad QF doesn't have B777s...they could blow up the Trent 800 too.
Kangaroos are allergic to Singapore all of a sudden...
I wonder if the politicians will suddenly point towards Singapore and accuse Singapore for the woes of Qantas...after all SG has been getting flak over the SGX-ASX merger.

Qantas 747 makes emergency landing in SIN one day after QF A380 blowout
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-1...cial-says.html
Both were flights from SIN to SYD.
Both intended to fly over Indonesia (where the volcano erupted).
Both had engines manufactured by Rolls-Royce (assuming the 747 is a non-ER version).
Hmmmm.....?Such a gentle way about you / All around the world / Wouldn't go away without you / Singapore Girl, you're a great way to fly

Given QF's run of bad press and ongoing issues whether material failure, design flaws, poor maintenance...whatever....
Occams razor applies.
So much, for one airline, across more than one aircraft.....
if it walks like a duck, looks like a duck and quacks like a duck......must be an Argentinian Racing Pigeon, right?If God had really intended men to fly, he'd make it easier to get to the airport.
