four corners - A long running ABC newsamentry vehicle 28/03/2011 Brisbane Australia

Just finished watching the newsamentry about the Qantas flight QF32 from Singapore that suffered a mid air explosion in a Rolls Rouce engine.

My heart was in my throat while listening to their account.

"Just lucky I guess" undertone of the newsamentry seems too trite for any industry thats heavily invested in safety.
Luck is the only warm feeling Rolls Royce quality control can hold on to.

Would the fault had been found if Qantas hadn't reduced their own inhouse servicing regime in favour of outsourcing so many years ago.

My hat is off to the Captain Richard De Crespigny and his aussie flight crew who saved 466 lives that day
