The question is, how did it happen?

I think Phil M's post answers that one for you.

Oh well, you could barely blame Qantas for that one.

I guess that depends on the accuracy of Phil M's statement really!

Corporate Spin. Someone getting paid a lot of money came up with the "tow bar pin shear" excuse.

Truth is, it probably did break... because it was trying to pull an A330 out of the dirt.

Hear that it was actually a tow bar break.

Was that before or after the right main gear got bogged on the turn-in to Bravo-6 (a Code C taxiway) as per Phil M's post?

It was all resolved relatively quickly - there were no passengers on it, there was no inconvenience to any passengers

Wasn't QF21 delayed until the next morning?

All times are GMT +10. The time now is 02:10 AM.
