  1. Misleading title - should change it, may cause possible scare/upset to those with family frequently travelling on QF on that route. Qantas A380 Engine Issue over Indonesia by MIYURU on NOVEMBER 4, 2010 A Qantas Airbus A380-842, registration VH-OQA, operating as QF32 from London, LHR to Sydney, SYD via Singapore, SIN had an unidentified engine issue over Indonesia and returned to Singapore for a safe landing. Confusing reports state that the aircraft has now landed while some others state that it is still dumping fuel to land. It was reported that some debris from the engine had fallen over Indonesia. VH-OQA MSN014 was built in 2008 and is the first A380 delivered to Qantas. The aircraft is named Nancy Bird Walton and is powered by Trent 900 engines. Some sources state that the issue was with the engine cowling.
  2. Interior seating/styling looks similar to Virgin America A320. Is the cockpit equipped with HUD?
  3. Parcel found on UPS 767 Dubai police discovered parts of a computer printer with explosives loaded into its toner cartridge found in a package onboard a cargo plane coming from Yemen. Terrorists had tried to conceal a bomb inside this printer, which was intercepted by Dubai police en route from the Yemen to Chicago. Printer's circuitry were tampered with, smaller circuit board belongs to a cellphone. The Fed-Ex bomb: The booby-trapped printer was packed in a box together with a number of everyday items such as books and magazines. The packages spurred searches and investigations of jets arriving at New York's JFK Airport, Newark International Airport in New Jersey and the airport in Philadelphia. Newark: A bomb squad officer carries a package away from a UPS cargo plane as the plane and its contents are searched inr Newark, New Jersey. Search: Officials head straight for cargo hold to find the suspected package that has been sent from Yemen.
