On the morning of November 4th, 2010, 440 passengers and 29 crew boarded Qantas flight 32, at Singaporeâs 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 crewâs 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.

Iâm honestly surprised that the live camera feed that was clearly available to the passengers wasnât 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.
Nothing makes you feel more confident than the pilots coming into the passenger cabin to look out the windows for damage.
I think its safe to say he passed his check flight
As an Aussie I am so proud of our professional pilots in this incident. Their finest hour indeed.
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 pilotsâ experience and knowledge is a critical part of making flying safe.
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.
And the landing message from the cockpit was pure Aussie.
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.
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.
Aussie pilots and Crew Resource Management doesnât get any better, zero ego, zero blind respect to authority, captain said âmy planeâ and was open to all advice from others.
Hugely impressive CRM, but the plane itself impresses staying controllable despite an engine exploding. Fantastic technology.
Excellent video! Can't even imagine the amount of stress that captain was under.
I have seen and read many accounts of this incident, as I am sure is the case with many reading this. But this is handâs down the best documentary of this occurrence that Iâve witnessed.
Absolute heroes those pilots for keeping their cool in terrible circumstances and Saving the lives of everyone on board May they forever be blessed â„ïžđđ»â„ïž
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.
Iâm so glad I found this channel! Such great work, I was at the edge of my seat the entire time.
I like the fact that the Captain in the Captain chair took charge even though there were other pilots on board.
These guys pulled off a miracle landing. They are up there with Captain Sulley, and other 'miracle' flights.
I have so much respect and admiration for the flight crew. They were incredible on that fateful day.
