Jason, at the moment it appears to only be a single engine failure which was bad enough that parts of the engine cowling appear to have fallen on the Indonesian island of Batam.
The reports seem to indicate that the rest of the aircraft has now safely landed back in Singapore after dumping fuel. EDIT: Snap... three of us replied at once. Certainly another serious and disturbing incident for the ATSB and others to look into, but doesn't appear to be anything catastrophic at this point. |

Thanks Rob, looking at those photos it looks like the whole engine cowling. Would love to see what the engine looks like on the ground

SMH has some pictures of the engine damage. Certainly looks serious.

Changi Airport Group spokesperson has just announced the following:
An A380 Qantas flight, QF 32, bound for Sydney, Australia, departed Singapore Changi Airport at 0956 hours today. For technical reasons, the aircraft turned back to Changi. It landed safely at 1146 hours. So looks like we will see OQA missing in action for a short period and another 5th pod (on A380 or B744?) will be sent to Singapore for the replacement of the damaged engine? And isn't OQA just back from C-check from Frankfurt? Looks like the Qantas engineers will make some noise about outsourcing of maintenance works overseas...
