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.

@@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!

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.

[@uzaiyaro]

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.

[@uzaiyaro]

@@lakovkreativity 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.

[@lakovkreativity]

@@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 😀

[@uzaiyaro]

@@lakovkreativity 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.

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.

[@caiocc12]

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.

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.

7:08 "These warnings merely hinted at the damage that had been done." Ah! like the time I had a traffic accident, where my car was hit so hard, the engine actually dropped out of the car - and then the "Service Engine Soon" light came on 😕 .... Thank you for some fine videos!!!

[@alysonr2540]

Love your videos. As an Aussie, I am very proud of our pilots and our airline industry. I am not a great flyer but love aviation (doesnt make a lot of sense)but I always feel safer when an Aussie is flying the plane. I did watch other channels but since I came across your channel I only watch it. . Excellent show.

[@KayCee777]

I love this channel! So well informed, clearly explained and narrated. Thank you 👏

[@TanNguyen-iv5yh]

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!!!

[@BassGirlSusan1961]

Always enjoy your videos. So well researched and narrated.

[@GreenDotAviation]

Thank you very much!

[@พรสวรรค์ปทุมซ้าย-ผ7ค]

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’…😉

[@nickyp2820]

@@พรสวรรค์ปทุมซ้าย-ผ7ค 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!

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 💙💛

Don’t mind me.. just found your channel and am binge watching your videos 😬. You’re a great narrator

[@asentientgoose]

Kudos to the pilots and crew. Qantas is an incredible airline which I will continue to fly.

[@robertmainerd7145]

I flew with my family on this aurcraft (VH-OQA Nancy Bird Walton) one month before this incident on QF11 SYD-LAX. Throughout the entire flight my seat had a strong vibration and I could not sleep. Before passing Hawaii I had a massive headache. I am convinvinced that vibration was due to the engine fault. Glad everyone made it back safely.

[@jaburadvocacia261]

by FAR the very very best video covering this well known incident.

[@GreenDotAviation]

Thank you! 🙏🏼

[@deaghlanfinn-kelly9296]

Thank G-d for this landing and the skill of the crew. Just imagine the stress levels of those sat there in charge of that craft, knowing one mistake would be so bad. I am also so happy that egos never became a factor in all of this. There were no prima donnas trying to overrule the captain. That crew from cabin to the pilots all deserve medals and the thanks of all those on board as well as the families, Truly very brave and professional. I am honestly, truly amazed and humbled by their actions that day. I am disgusted by those that dumped shares in the airline as lives hung in the balance. That was truly disgusting.

[@lordjayvideos]

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.

[@GazGaryGazza]

The number of reviews where the pilots have no idea about the damage to the plane is unbelievable. With the technology available and even used to give passengers external views why on earth do pilots not have the ability to view all of their aircraft exterior from the cockpit - such a simple solution to cover a huge range of issues.

[@macyler]

An excellent video, and no annoying sponsorship either. Great work! I will certainly sign up for the Patreon if this continues.

[@EannaButler]

Green Dot Aviation is good value

[@LunaticTheCat]

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.

[@SquareNoggin]

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

[@stevenwest000]

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.

[@beagle7622]

The moment you said he pushed the Altitude hold button, I knew this was going to be very accurate. Good job.

[@lachlanbaker2031]

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.

[@revivalcycle]

Due to thorough presentation of details, I'm afraid you've become the most addictive and intriguing and productive video channel.

[@Harald-MacGerhard]

Agree, Qantas 32 is many places around the Internet, but this is by far the best one !!!

[@philipzanoni]

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!!

[@FamWay]

Wow, the part that really got me was just how calm and collected the flight crew stayed throughout this insane situation. I mean, over 100 warning messages popping up, fuel pouring out of the wing, and the real possibility of the brakes catching fire - and yet they kept their focus! Captain Richard de Crespigny and his team were absolute heroes. It's wild to think about how they managed to land that plane, 50 tons overweight, and still bring everyone home safe. Seriously, one of the most intense and impressive displays of flying I’ve ever heard about!

[@grahamfairbanks3407]

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.

[@gdawwg1125]

How calm was the cabin after the initial engine failure ?

[@TheKatinator1]

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?

[@liberatumplox625]

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.

I usually don't like nor watch these plane accident videos with no real footage, just CGI loops of roughly related subject matter, but you guys do such a good job that I didn't notice much that I was only seeing canned video. Great job!

[@bigpete111100]

Incredibly professional piloting Much respect from the UK

[@MrCrystalcranium]

Such a shame this magnificent airplane with decades of development behind it had such a short life as a passenger carrying aircraft. Like everything else today, it went so quickly from being a technological marvel to an economically untenable white elephant. Today, dozens of them sit idle at airport parking lots waiting for a second life as something else...cargo carriers...flying palaces...NASA research aircraft etc. Its very size and complexity makes its conversion to a role other than flying people very difficult. In the end, too big, burned too much expensive fuel and way too ambitious. Sad.

[@enterprisethesylveon5787]

It was simply too expensive for most airlines, and useless for others as the A320 was already out, and that was doing the job at a cheaper, faster and more numerous rate. It's like using a Thomas Saf-T-Liner C2 for an Airport Shuttle Bus service when a Ford E-150 Extended Shuttle does the same for half the price...

[@change_your_oil_regularly4287]

Airbus learnt a hell of a lot from the A380 development. I believe the 380 was a massive success in the sense it's had an impact on Airbus's direction, development and choices moving forward which has helped them overtake Boeing. Though Boeing themselves had a lot to do with that. IMO ALLEGEDLY

[@LunaticTheCat]

Unfortunately it's just impractical for today's commercial aviation market.

[@Volodimar]

They coming back! Lufthansa has announced it's bringing its A380s back in 2023. There are several reasons why airlines are circling back to the superjumbo. "There's a lack of wide-body capacity, as some operators such as British Airways retired older airplanes like the Boeing 747. Emirates bringing it back too 😍

Brilliant team work. Glad to hear credit shared for the work with computers in particular- that fits with what I learned from someone closely involved. Qantas at its best. That’s why Australians have loved and taken such pride in Qantas. The current CEO made himself big $$$. The airline now needs time to heal. It is bleeding the fine young staff who were the promise of the future. But hey- at least Qantas was able to provide income up to $24 million to its CEO. In one year. New priorities. Got to move with the times.

I worked on the design of trent engines while at RR and this incident was used every single time when safety was discussed. This incident lead to a number of changes within RR in terms of maintenance and vender quality checks. Just a correction, engine casing is designed to contain a blade off not a rotor/disc off.

[@justinsimmonds5674]

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.

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 ??

[@trinityp8575]

Exactly. Plus some of passengers would have seen the issue. Why haven’t they reported it?

[@Aotearoa_Kiwi]

Wow ... what a totally professional, and highly skilled crew.

[@cdd4248]

I am not a pilot, but absolutely leveled by the amount of skill, teamwork, patience, and integrity it took to land this plane. The captain should maybe consult a astrologist! LOL
