On the morning of November 4th, 2010, 440 passengers and 29 crew boarded Qantas flight 32, at Singapore’s Changi airport. The aircraft they were flying on, a state-of-the-art Airbus A380, would go on to suffer a catastrophic uncontained engine failure shortly after takeoff. Almost 500 lives hung in the balance as the five pilots in the cockpit did everything they could to save the crippled aircraft. This incident is the most serious to happen to an A380 to date, and the crew’s handling of it has been highlighted by aviation experts as being one of the finest examples of airmanship in the history of aviation.
This short documentary uses publicly available information to examine this incident, and the reasons for its occurrence.

I’m honestly surprised that the live camera feed that was clearly available to the passengers wasn’t also provided to the cockpit. The ability to visually confirm the state of the fuselage, wings, tail, and engines would be incredibly valuable in dire situations like this one. While sensors are sufficient to communicate the majority of issues, in more dire situations, like this one, visual confirmation is essential to fully realize the severity of a scenario.
Ikrrrrr. Precious time is lost in thinking what actually happened. A live feed like that can help them make decisions instantly
Yep. It's unbelievable.
One would think flight attendants would be pounding on the cabin door...
@CherokeeSher I half expected to hear that passengers sat near the wing who saw what happened alerted the cabin crew to then alert the flight crew.
Good thinking maybe write a letter to the airplane factory
Nothing makes you feel more confident than the pilots coming into the passenger cabin to look out the windows for damage.
It’s better than sitting in the cockpit like idiots wondering what’s wrong like they did for 20 minutes. Especially with 5 guys in cockpit. These pilots sucked and almost got everyone killled
Passenger confidence is a very low priority in situations like this. That's the job of a well trained cabin crew, not the pilots!
@@jeffpestano1296 That's a cheap shot, Jeff. It's easy to second guess what you would have done in similar circumstances. The fact that this incident had a happy ending gives the lie to your criticism. Maybe the captain wanted the combined brain power of all the pilots on the flight deck as they sorted through the chaos of failures they were dealing with. That's my more charitable speculation on the event. The captain's not here to explain his actions or those of his crew, so I say, give him the benefit of the doubt. They landed safely after all with no injuries to anyone on board! Bravo zulu!
They got lucky. Pilot did everything he could to crash the plane. Tell me one thing they accomplished in that hour that changed what he was supposed to do immediately. Not second guessing him. Those were my instincts.
@@bearowen5480 don’t take anything he says as a serious thought go look at his other comments they are always negative towards the crew think they have a problem with crews or something
I think its safe to say he passed his check flight
@@claysonantoons3142 Really yeah?
@@claysonantoons3142 The flight was completed in my book.
17:45 Unable to dump fuel? They are already dumping fuel and probably at a higher rate than if they used the fuel dump system…
@@MothaLuva they want to dump the right side I suppose. Also I don't think the leak is faster
Thank ÿou!
As an Aussie I am so proud of our professional pilots in this incident. Their finest hour indeed.
Qantas has always been a very fine and professional airliner....
@richbrake9910 seriously?! I guess you haven't flown qantas to l.a. recently. The flight staff literally set up a tent around passenger seats and sleep there because apparently there is nowhere else for them to sleep.. Sooooo unprofessional
@faff Not disagreeing with what you said and yes I haven't flown overseas for about 10 years. Nonetheless in this incident the pilots were very professional. Regarding the cabin crew incident you refer to they can't do that too often otherwise people will simply go to other airlines. There is just no where to hide these days in terms of real poor customer service and crew practice.
Not a single person injured?! They’re heroes. Truly impressive handling.
@@richbrake9910should have just landed. If you’ve got emergency lights. Just land.
Did you know that they stopped road traffic at both ends of the runway ? This is so that a short landing or overrun would reduce casualties on the ground. Kudos to the ATC who relayed this to the authorities. Separately, the airport went into emergency preparedness mode just in case. The designated meeting rooms were vacated and refitted with charts, laptops, emergency telephones, and all essential staff like media relations, engineers, emergency officers,and 400+ counsellors were mobilised. Even the coast guard, marine authorities and port authority were on standby in case of a ditching. All this done whilst the plane was circling. Someone should make a video on this one day. If you didn’t realize, after the plane was evacuated and passengers returned to the terminal, it was calm and organized. No signs of chaos nor frustrations. Passengers got their health check up, accommodations and luggage expediently. Their next of kin were notified and all passengers could contact their loved ones immediately (and possibly arranged free of charge). Remember , this was in 2010 instant messaging , cheap data and free WiFi was not the norm.
really interesting additional info. i didn't know any of that. cheers
The captain also gave his mobile number to every passenger on board, if they had any problems. I believe that to be true or I could be wrong.
They truly went above and beyond
Somehow the Ground Fire Crew were not ready at the end much that it took +10mins for anyone to be closer to deal with the spilling fuel and the hot tyres. Phew!!!
Why I love Singapore
And the landing message from the cockpit was pure Aussie. "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Singapore, where the time is quarter to 12 midday on Thursday the 4th of November, 2010. And I think you will join me in the notion that this was one of the nicest landings I have experienced for quite a while."
This is my favorite flight story. The professionalism of this crew who cooperated so well together brought everyone safely on the ground. Again computers do an amazing job on modern planes but the pilots’ experience and knowledge is a critical part of making flying safe.
Agreed. I must say that British Airways BA9 which lost all 4 engines over Indonesia in 1982 is another favourite happy ending plane story that equals this one.
@@madness8556 Oh that is a good one. Haven’t seen it in quite awhile. Going to go find and watch.
@@deemariedubois4916 there's a number of great docos about BA9 on KZhead.
While I give the nod to US Airways Flight 1549 and the legend of Sully (not to mention the crew & passengers, who deserve a ton of credit in their own rights), I respect your choice for sure. It shows the side of humanity that gives me hope- no matter one’s job, no matter one’s stake in life, being a consummate professional even when tasked with life-or-death responsibilities is something that feels more rare than it should be… To be fair, “feel”’is the operative word because I do believe vast majority of professionals in the aviation industry (outside of Boeing senior staff 😬) and other fields are hard-working, dedicated people committed to providing safe air travel.
Some extra detail: the reason why the oil pipe cracked in the first place was because it was improperly made. The walls on one side of the pipe were smaller than the other, and this happened in the factory the pipe was made in. Also, this plane cost $140 million to repair; the left wing had to be substantially rebuilt, six kilometres of wiring was replaced, and the aircraft is now permanently 90kg or so heavier because of structural repairs to the left wing. Rolls-Royce contributed $90m to the repair bill, and considering that all four engines were replaced, and how much one of these things costs, it’s my guess that this compensation is basically Rolls-Royce replacing all four engines with brand new ones for free, even though there was nothing wrong with the others. I think that’s a deal I’d take, too! This aircraft is currently in storage and I believe is not on the chopping block, and at time of writing, will be returning to service. Tail number VH-OQA.
@@lakovkreativity1451 because we’re so far away, Qantas gets decent mileage from their A380s. The SYD-LAX run is well and truly a route the A380 was tailor made for. Very popular emirates route to Dubai too. Even here in Brisbane there’s an A380 Dubai route. Anyway, A couple have been withdrawn but I don’t think OQA is one of them. The rest were sent to Europe early in the pandemic for a full cabin refit, assuming a D-check was done here, as cabin refits are generally performed while the aircraft is pulled apart. It’s safe to say that while the they are stored in Victorville, they have brand new interiors, so they absolutely will fly again.
@@uzaiyaro that's pretty cool they still repair them and use them after catastrophic failures like that, instead of wastefully scrapping the whole thing and starting fresh, also hello from America, Google told me it's 5-7 pm there 😀
@@lakovkreativity1451 Well, I think that like everything else that’s insured, there’s a point in which a repair or rebuild is more economical, or it’s more economical to write it off as a hull loss. At the time, VH-OQA was still pretty new, and no doubt was still under engine warranty. A very large portion of the total $140m bill was Rolls Royce replacing all four engines under warranty for free, at about $23m a pop. AFAIK there was nothing wrong with the other three engines (i.e. the oil stub pipe in question was only faulty on engine 2), but I imagine they decided to just replace all four of them to head off any possible legal battles over this. I don’t know who coughed up the rest of the bill, probably Qantas’ insurers. Ultimately it would have been up to the insurer to decide whether to repair or declare a hull loss, and they clearly opted for the former, which would be been the cheaper/more economical option. Had the aircraft been a good deal through its service life, this same event may have indeed led to a hull loss. It’s simply a question of what’s cheaper. And hello to you! It’s now a bit later in the day, but you were pretty on point! The thing to remember about Brisbane and Queensland time in general is that we do not observe daylight savings time, whereas the rest of the eastern seaboard does, which is somewhat annoying, as it’s an hour ahead down south despite being roughly in line with each other. In any case, I hope things are going well in Americaland! It’s raining all week here in Brisneyland, an area of the world that is sadly already ravaged and rebuilding from mildly catastrophic floods earlier this year.
@@uzaiyaro that's pretty cool, and yeah it's goin about as well here as it is there, plus some bullets and whatnot.. 🤣
@@uzaiyaro QANTAS will always repair a damaged aircraft. That way they keep their world-class safety record. Even the 747 that skidded off runway in BKK was repaired, to the tune of millions’ $.
Given that there were several other pilots not actively flying the aircraft, I wondered why it took them so long to send one of them back to the cabin to look at the actual damage?? This has happened many times on other emergencies, where passengers report damage to cabin crew but these reports do not percolate up to the flight deck. I know the flight crew are under immense pressure, watching their instruments, running through checklists, etc. But if a nugget of useful information can be given to them via eyeballing the damage, then it would help immensely. Also, why is it that passengers can get a CCTV birds eye view of the A380 from the tail camera, but the flight deck does not?? I have flown A380 many times and enjoyed watching the various camera feeds. I always assumed that the flight crew could see this too. Bit of an oversight in my opinion.
Haven't worked on aircraft but having worked with monitoring systems, I've intentionally hidden information from users in order to prevent mistakes on their interpretation. My guess is that not enough studies were made about the effects of pilots having a live video feed of the aircraft. Maybe that would be a distraction, maybe it could lead to them ignoring other readings if the video does not show any damages, et cetera, and maybe Airbus preferred to be conservative and err on the side of caution.
Yes I would think that they would have gone back immediately
@@caiocc12 that should not prevent one of them from going to see for himself.
I have thought this too. Also with how small and inexpensive cameras are why is there not cameras all over the plane for assessing damage in a pinch. Primarily landing gear bays, flaps and slats, cargo, ext.
@@caiocc12 i understand it's a potential distraction for pilots but why not train cabin crew how to do cursory inspections and immediately report all obvious issues to the cockpit? From watching many crash videos it appears cabin crew doesn't want to bother the pilots even if an engine is on fire. I just don't get it.
Hugely impressive CRM, but the plane itself impresses staying controllable despite an engine exploding. Fantastic technology.
Big jumbo jets like the 747 and the a380 have a lot of redundancy measures Thats why those never went down for minor things
Aussie pilots and Crew Resource Management doesn’t get any better, zero ego, zero blind respect to authority, captain said “my plane” and was open to all advice from others.
Agreed, Culture can play a big part in CRM.
We should be proud of our national airline and their pilots. We might be a small population, but we have so much to be proud of. In fact, with the rest of the world going rapidly down the toilet, maybe it's time for us and our Kiwi cousins to secede from the planet 😊
@@davidhynd4435 : really? How? I’m so proud that you are not a human?
I wish Aussies treated politicians the same way
Aussie! Aussie! Aussie!
Excellent video! Can't even imagine the amount of stress that captain was under.
Captain takes another flight, engine failure
You set it aside and go tunnel visioned to only your task at hand and use your crew for complicated input. It would have felt like a call to arms and a challenge to survive as opposed to all out crippling stress.
@@TheRealHoltzy But what about his flight back to Australia? A few days later?
These guys pulled off a miracle landing. They are up there with Captain Sulley, and other 'miracle' flights.
Don't forget Capt Sullivan QF72
Write and British Airways Flight 9
Even without the relevant affinity with aviation, these video's are incredibly interesting and entertaining. The writing, production and narration on this channel is impeccable. I've been on quite the binge watching these documentaries, watching a couple of them over the last 2 days. I gained a lot of respect for pilots and crew members consequently. Definitely earned a sub on the channel!
I have seen and read many accounts of this incident, as I am sure is the case with many reading this. But this is hand’s down the best documentary of this occurrence that I’ve witnessed. Thanks Green Dot.
Thank you very much and nice to see you again!
@@GreenDotAviation yes...wonderful job!
Was about to say same! Yes - so well done.
I was about to leave the same comment… I have watched the Smithsonian Channel’s “Air Disasters” version of this incident many times and thought I knew all of the story, but you have added more details and facts that they didn’t include in their recreation of the event. WTG Green Dot… that’s one of the reasons I like your videos so much!!
This one gives SO much more detail than most documentaries on this incident! Thanks Green Dot!
Absolute heroes those pilots for keeping their cool in terrible circumstances and Saving the lives of everyone on board May they forever be blessed ♥️🙏🏻♥️
what about the other pilots that never made it? Do you not bless them
@@malahammerno they failed us
@@keagandeal3475 hahahahahahaha! whodefuq are you to say this....god?
I like the fact that the Captain in the Captain chair took charge even though there were other pilots on board.
In situations like this you don't have time to argue... Pride goes out the window.. everyone talks like equals. I can assure you that titles of your job also go out the window. The more people you have the more knowledge you have.
It’s a common practice. Still, it was fortuitous that he did make sure to take that step before takeoff.
You like the fact, that he did his job?
@@derpinguin7003 Yes I do. I am a retired Army Master Sargent. With respect to my seniors, I took charge of situations, even when there are Senior Officers on site. In other words, It’s my plane and I am taking both, control and responsibility for my PLANE!
Some of those pilots out ranked him. He did a great job and saved his passengers.
I’m so glad I found this channel! Such great work, I was at the edge of my seat the entire time.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have so much respect and admiration for the flight crew. They were incredible on that fateful day.
You aced it! As did the Captain & FO & company. The Captains "rules of the road" led to outstanding efforts by all. Incredibly well told story, remarkable outcome.
This is a great story, mainly because no one was hurt. But it's definitely thrilling to watch. God bless them all, I'm glad this didn't end up the other way. I personally think all 9f the flight crew deserved an award for their fine airmanship and good crew resource management. I've seen this one before, but this is the best rendition I think.
BTW, there was no one called God on that flight. They were saved by a combination of engineering and human skill.
@@geoffcrumblin9850 about being arrogant not funny. God bless you. Romans 1:28, NIV: " Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done." Galatians6:7 "Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows."
It still boggles my mind how the flight crew were able to achieve the outcome that they did. Absolutely top notch CRM and technical knowledge. They truly are heroes.
This is an excellent report of a flight that was extremely tense for nearly 500 persons on board. Congrats to the captain and all the crew on board.
And the atc and ground crew . Coast guard , scdf and other airport emergency services.
All is well when it ends well! Kudos and blessings to this crew and its courageous efforts!
Incredible CRM! It’s truly astonishing that so many things went wrong yet the crew got everything right to safely land their crippled aircraft. No injuries, too. Whenever I hear of hydraulic lines being severed, my mind goes straight to United 232. I’m glad this case had a better outcome, but the crew of United 232 also did everything they could under impossible circumstances. Excellent video, Green Dot!
The Captain had had engine failures in his time with the RAAF. He had learnt a lot from this which helped his CRM.
the odds were really stacked against them that day...kudos to the Australian pilots... they put their heads together and cool heads prevailed....they patiently went through that check list....nerves of steel.
I'm sure the additional check captains helped out in this situation especially with all those error codes. Ultimate hats off to the main Captain though...
These were the faults the crew had to deal with: • Engines No. 1 and 4 were operating in a degraded mode • Green hydraulic system - low system pressure and low fluid level • Yellow hydraulic system - engine No. 4 pump errors • failure of the alternating current (AC) electrical No. 1 and 2 bus systems • flight controls operating in alternate law • wing slats inoperative • flight controls - ailerons partial control only • flight controls - reduced spoiler control • landing gear control and indicator warnings • multiple brake system messages • engine anti-ice and air data sensor messages • multiple fuel system messages, including a fuel jettison fault • centre of gravity messages • autothrust and autoland inoperative • No. 1 engine generator drive disconnected • left wing pneumatic bleed leaks • avionics system overheat
You left out the primary engine failure, anti-lock brake failure, no 1 engine failure to shutdown, massive fuel leak, extreme overheated brakes, complete tire de-pressurization, extreme overweight landing, punctured fuselage, loss of hull pressurization, etc.
@@bigbaddms low of hull pressurisation? Errrr no they didn’t have the fuselage penetrated. And in case it wasn’t obvious this is a list of faults that were caused by the failure of the number 2 engine. You haven’t really mentioned any “failures” there, just additional problems except the anti lock brake failure which was due to the hydraulic system loss which I did mention. Engine 1 failing to shut down was due to the electrical system loss
@@tomstravels520 actually there was a small hull puncture, however it did not affect the passenger cabin because it was on the underbelly and only affected a small portion of the cargo compartment. Even if they had lost ALL hull pressure that would not have been deadly on it’s own at the relatively low altitude that they leveled off at (7k feet). Humans can easily breathe air at outside pressure at pretty much an altitude under approximately 12k feet. Actually a small town not too far from where I was born is known as the “Two Mile High City” because it sits at an altitude of 10,151 feet.. well above the altitude that Q32 leveled off at.
Wowsers that’s quite a list! God bless you all
@@kathrynarchuleta1776 Denver is well over 5000 feet (5100-5700 depending on which part), as an example of very large cities that are in that altitude ballpark. I think there are South American cities over 10,000 - though not by a lot, and not huge ones.
Hats off to the entire team who successfully managed to bring down the flight and saving the lives of all the passengers.
Your narration, your graphics, your editing... Man, oh man! What a beautiful channel!! Thank you sooo much!!!
What an incredible story! Everyone involved did everything right, both in the air and on the ground.
My instructor showed us this video during my MCC course, it shows how good and precise it is ! nice job !
one of the finest examples of excellence in the history of aviation for sure. over 400 people saved because of it too!
I love watching videos about this incident. Amazing how teamwork saves the day.
Just found this channel and I’m loving it! Thank you for the fantastic research!
This is by far the best description of this scary incident. I have seen other videos about this, but as usual, this takes the price. This is THE flight channel to subsrcibe to in the future for me. Many thanks 👏👏👏
Glad you enjoyed it! ✈️😎
Always enjoy your videos. So well researched and narrated.
Thank you very much!
Gotta disagree . Good video but I found the narration difficult to listen to. Reading from a script of course but sounding just like it.One sentence at a time , no smooth flow or nuance. Just sayin’…😉
@@user-jl9to6zh1q Huh? I just love the narration! I don't care what the subject is, I love a good story and there's no story without a good storyteller. Green Dot is top notch and that's why I love to listen!
I love this channel! So well informed, clearly explained and narrated. Thank you 👏
Very well written and presented documentary on this aircraft incident. Thank you!
It amazes me that, in all of these catastrophic engine failures, the easily visible damage doesn't get shared with the pilots.

The need to fly and navigate first
This channel is a blessing and a curse. A blessing because the videos are so interesting and informative. A curse because I fly often and watching videos of airplane disasters probably doesn't help.
It should give you comfort that these incidents are learned from and unlikely to ever happen again. Each disaster makes flying MUCH safer as we learn
You should do Saudia Flight 163 The aircraft was on fire, turned back, successfully landed, taxied to a full stop…… Then no doors ever opened. All 301 souls perished. May they Rest In Peace. It is said that have the pilot done an emergency evacuation immediately instead of taxing, it could have ended differently.
Thanks for the suggestion! I may cover this at some point.
Easily one of the most infuriating air disasters of all time.
@@LunaticTheCat totally agree!
@@GreenDotAviation please don't forget about Saudia Flight 163, try reading about it, it was the worst air disaster by loss of life at that time. It was also totally avoidable, and like some of the repliers mentioned, totally infuriating.
Holy crap!
Damn 6 pilots on plane did hep them to come up with all the right moves and decisions!! Great team work!! And thank you GreenDotAviation for yet another great story!!!
A saga of skill , courage and expertise Salutes to the esteemed pilots.👏👏👏👏👏.
Thank you for the detailed emergency description and analysis of damage, holding the flight in air to monitor controls functioning for confidence to bring the plane to halt on the runway length, lowering the landing gear on gravitational force, and finally alignment on finals and application of brakes exhibits the level of excellent professionalism of Qantas Captain , FO and other experienced air crew is commendable and deserves all praise and accolades.... a profound display of sheer grit and determination by Quantas ..! ... Above all My thanks to Almighty God for his wisdom and knowledge to the crews to take right decision and steering the plane for safe landing.. May God bless all the Aviators ! Thank you for this informative video.
If you're ever looking for more accidents to make a video on, I'd like to suggest adding British Airtours 28M to the list! This was also caused by an engine explosion that punctured the wing. It was so deadly even though it never made it off the ground, and it's one of those accidents that truly brought a lot of change to the industry (seat layout, floor lighting, better evacuation plans, making the seats and cabin walls fire resistant). I would love to hear your take on this incident someday! Thanks for the great videos.
I really enjoy your story telling style and how you break down all the details taking us on the full journey, I love the channel ❤
Thanks for sharing this, I watched this story repeatedly, I am never getting tired of this amazing feat This is possibly the most amazing story of teamwork in the history of aviation 💙💛
I love Aviation stories, much as it's kinda scary, it's intriguing.
As both a FAA licensed pilot and FAA commercial ground instructor, I can only say that the presentation I just watched regarding the crash of the Concorde taking off from the JFK Airport in New York is perhaps the best single explanation I have ever been able to immediately understand. My only criticism might be the use of some vocabulary unfamiliar to listeners who are not pilots, such as "rotation speed." Having instructed primarily only those who are total beginners to aviation, I am keenly aware of that altogether familiar "kiss" principle. I have found that the mere use of the term "knots" is beyond the comprehension of my audience, until I compare it to miles pet hour. I find it best to occasionally reinforce my audience's learning curve by merely reiterating any unusual or confusing term from time to time. Aloha from Kealakekua, Hawaii, Glenn Peter Ordell
Qantas - The Spirit of Australia. Never give up - your mates always have your back - and everyone loves the underdog to come through for the win! Great job guys!
My Whole-Hearted THANKS for NOT having background ;'music' or other secondary audio which only causes distraction from the lesson or text of the video. If only more broadcasters would follow your example.
Every person on aviation I’ve talked to hates the A380 but I think it’s the most gorgeous piece of machinery ever made 🥺 yes it’s not practical or economic but it’s my favorite airplane
I think many older Pilots are not fans of the amount of automation in some of the Air Bus planes .The A380 is an amazing feet of Aeronautics, especially up close when you realise just what a huge Aircraft it is . I am luck to live direct under the Flight path for the Airbus Factory in Hamburg were they did cabine fitting and painting of the Aircraft , Lufthansa also has it workshop here in the main Airport were during the Airports 100 year celebrations they had an A380 land and then Taxi into the Lufthansa Technic display.parking next to a DC 8 and Lockheed Super consolation they looked like Toys compared .this incident was bad for Rolls Royce and must have cost Millions to replace those 50 falty engine's and then refurbish those too. Other than the excellent crew that the Aircrafts systems and build quality have to be praised to, any such accident like this in the past would have spelled disaster a decade or so before. Love the content quality here thanks.
Great technical video of this near disaster. Nice work!
So glad i found this channel! i love Air Disasters and this is just as clear and concise. I hope you keep making videos :)
Love the production quality. Watched most of your videos by now and the best thing is that i watch it like a movie as i don't know how it ends and that keeps me hooked.
An excellent video, and no annoying sponsorship either. Great work! I will certainly sign up for the Patreon if this continues.
Green Dot Aviation is good value
But if he did have a sponsor there would be nothing wrong with that since at the end of the day, our favorite content creators getting paid for their hard work should always be viewed as a good thing.
Thank you. I really like the widescreen/letterbox format - very cinematic!
I like the calm delivery. The best way for this type of content.
Just discovered this channel. Excellent content and presentation. My husband & I have been binge watching for 2 days now.! Gratitude Green Dot Aviation 🙏💙
Such a compelling concise! interesting/scary event told. Thank you!
Who’s above the supervising check captain?! 😆 A fantastic video with great detail. More than I’ve seen on other videos, even the pilot-owned channels. You really provide a good understanding to the lay-person but with fine details of incidents. Absolutely amazing CRM and aircraft.
thank you for your videos. very informative and the production value is fantastic.
Absolutely amazing! Thank you for this story.
Your videos are awesome! Keep them coming :)!
Thank you! Will do!
Gratitude pour ce magnifique travail d'équipe de ces aviateurs qui ont sauvé tant de vies humaines.! et permis une amélioration sécuritaire sur tous les a380 identiques!
Great video as always! The wide aspect ratio looks great!
Thank you!
It’s also a good idea to point out that the captain accurately weighed up the risks of evacuating the aircraft on the ground. An emergency evacuation would likely lead to dozens of injuries, not evacuating the aircraft saved a lot of pain for the passengers.
Kudos to the pilots and crew. Qantas is an incredible airline which I will continue to fly.
For what it's worth I was on that flight, the biggest danger was when the plane came to a halt after landing, I could see the SIN fire crew were scared to come close to the plane because they thought it would explode. The engine was put out after about 30 minutes not 3 hours.
How calm was the cabin after the initial engine failure ?
Were the cabin crew aware of the fuel leak seen on the camera? I have very little aviation knowledge but it seems obvious that one of the cabin crew should have told the pilots what they saw?
Isn't putting their lives in danger a part of their job? I hope their danger money was docked and that they all received medals for cowardice.
@@liberatumplox625Congratulations you have the dumbest comment on the Internet
The first Officer is now one of Qantas’ most senior management pilots. The crew was exceptional that day.
Really enjoyed it. Another great video from you. 👍
Glad you liked it!
So he passed his assessment then?
by FAR the very very best video covering this well known incident.
Thank you! 🙏🏼
Due to thorough presentation of details, I'm afraid you've become the most addictive and intriguing and productive video channel.
Agree, Qantas 32 is many places around the Internet, but this is by far the best one !!!
Man I just love these highly technical documentaries. If anybody knows of other channels covering different topics that dive deep into the details the way this phenomenal channel does for aviation - I'd love to know about em
Damn!!! This was so good. I thought for sure, especially with the sad music that started playing, that the plane was going to explode right there on the runway. What a bitter end that would have been. Go Quantis!!
Teamwork is vital. Absolutely vital. They made the best decisions at the best times.
Don’t mind me.. just found your channel and am binge watching your videos 😬. You’re a great narrator
Excellent video presentation. Thank you
great video as always!
Glad you enjoyed!
What an example of team work! 👍👏💯
The moment you said he pushed the Altitude hold button, I knew this was going to be very accurate. Good job.
“Combined Experience” i love that two words put together!!! 💯🔥🙌🏽
If I was the captain I would have stayed in Singapore for the rest of my life 😅
what cool headed pilots and crew well done
Brilliantly produced video, thank you 🥂
This is an incredible moment in aviation history. The way the crew handled their very unique and insane circumstances. I actually have a copy of the book written by the captain about the event. Captain De Crespigny is an absolute legend in his field and among the Australian aviation community.
Great Video
Thanks for the video....was waiting for this🙂
Most welcome 😊
I met Matt Hicks a few years ago and chatted to him about QF32. He described it as the most challenging moment in his career and after that flight ended up flying different aircraft.
It always gets me as to why with all the technology on planes now that they don't have a simple camera display of the engines / wings for the crew to look and see damage at times like this ??
Exactly. Plus some of passengers would have seen the issue. Why haven’t they reported it?
"Qantas has never had a crash" Airbus: "Orly? Hold my wine..." Qantas pilots: "ORLY? Hold my Fosters, mate!"
VB (Victoria Bitter) is so much better than Fosters
Dude your videos are so good!
106 tons of fuel is almost 900 bbls. That's crazy how much they hold. That's 37800 gallons which would fill a small car 2,700 times.
That was a miracle! Wow.
Thank God for excellent pilots!!
