..and Stuart, they have declared an emergency, so no restrictions on reverse thrust.

Should be no restrictions whatsoever. According to this paper:
http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/avi...fact_sheet.pdf

'What about emergencies?
The curfew does not apply to aircraft involved in emergencies
such as air ambulance, search and rescue or critical mechanical
malfunctions.'

It looks like departure is now pushed to Monday morning 7am according to the Sydney Airport website.

I was on the flight, was probably a compressor stall or something similar....was a loud bang with a small amount of yaw....the plane won't be going anywhere for a while.....just spoke to some ground crew and it needs a new engine!

A once in a lifetime experience!

Rego was EDA, 380's with A as their last letter are having an interesting run.

From memory they had 2 A380 incidents in a few days back in Oct resulting in multiple tyre bursts in Jeddah and Tokyo.
