On the flight deck, Captain Richard de Crespigny heard it too. \u201cIt was louder than what I'd ever heard in the simulator,\u201d he later recalled. \u201cBut it was obviously an engine failure.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>It was much more than that. The No. 2 Rolls-Royce Trent 900 on the giant Airbus A380 had just torn itself apart in an uncontained failure \u2014 the kind where the engine casing cannot hold the wreckage in. Fragments of a turbine disc, flung out with enormous energy, punched through the left wing, severed wiring looms and set off an avalanche of electronic failure messages that would keep the crew busy for the better part of two hours.<\/p>\r\n<p>There were 469 people on board the world's newest superjumbo, an aircraft Qantas had proudly named <em>Nancy-Bird Walton<\/em>. That everyone walked away \u2014 calmly, down a single set of stairs \u2014 is down to one of the most remarkable displays of airmanship in modern aviation. And to a stroke of scheduling luck that put five experienced pilots on one flight deck.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background: #f5f5f5; border-radius: 8px; padding: 20px 24px; margin: 24px 0;\">\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 10px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 17px;\">Quick Facts: Qantas Flight 32<\/p>\r\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.6;\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 4px 12px 4px 0; font-weight: 600; white-space: nowrap; vertical-align: top;\">Date<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 4px 0;\">4 November 2010<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 4px 12px 4px 0; font-weight: 600; white-space: nowrap; vertical-align: top;\">Route<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 4px 0;\">London\u2013Sydney via Singapore (QF32)<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 4px 12px 4px 0; font-weight: 600; white-space: nowrap; vertical-align: top;\">Aircraft<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 4px 0;\">Airbus A380-842, VH-OQA <em>Nancy-Bird Walton<\/em><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 4px 12px 4px 0; font-weight: 600; white-space: nowrap; vertical-align: top;\">Engines<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 4px 0;\">4\u00d7 Rolls-Royce Trent 900<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 4px 12px 4px 0; font-weight: 600; white-space: nowrap; vertical-align: top;\">On board<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 4px 0;\">469 (440 passengers, 29 crew)<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 4px 12px 4px 0; font-weight: 600; white-space: nowrap; vertical-align: top;\">What happened<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 4px 0;\">Uncontained failure of engine No. 2, four minutes after takeoff over Batam Island, Indonesia<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 4px 12px 4px 0; font-weight: 600; white-space: nowrap; vertical-align: top;\">Root cause<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 4px 0;\">Fatigue crack in an oil-feed stub pipe oil fire turbine disc burst<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 4px 12px 4px 0; font-weight: 600; white-space: nowrap; vertical-align: top;\">Injuries<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 4px 0;\">None<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 4px 12px 4px 0; font-weight: 600; white-space: nowrap; vertical-align: top;\">Aftermath<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"padding: 4px 0;\">Aircraft repaired for about A$139 million; returned to service April 2012<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top: 22px;\">Two Bangs Over Batam Island<\/h2>\r\n<p>QF32 had departed Changi at 9:57 am, bound for Sydney on the second leg of its run from London. At 10:01 am, over Batam Island in Indonesia, the intermediate-pressure turbine disc of engine No. 2 let go. Investigators later established that it broke into three high-energy fragments. Pieces of engine tore through the wing skin and rained down on Batam \u2014 some landing on houses and a school. Remarkably, nobody on the ground was hurt.<\/p>\r\n<p>In the cockpit, de Crespigny and his crew did what pilots are drilled to do: fly the aeroplane first. Altitude hold, heading select, stabilise. Only then, about 40 to 50 seconds after the explosion, came the radio call: \u201cPan, Pan, Pan, Qantas 32, engine failure, number two engine, maintaining 7,400 feet, maintaining current heading. Stand by for instructions.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; margin: 24px 0;\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" style=\"position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; border: 0; border-radius: 8px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a-4FBN8OTkk\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-no-lazy=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>A \u201cPan\u201d call signals urgency, one step below Mayday. It reflected the crew's early assessment: the aircraft was flying, the wings were level, and there was no need for panic. What the pilots could not yet see was the state of their machine. Fuel was streaming from holes in the left wing. One of the two hydraulic systems was gone. Around half the aircraft's computer networks had been compromised.<\/p>\r\n<p>De Crespigny would later say that 21 of the A380's 22 major aircraft systems were damaged or degraded that morning \u2014 by his count, the only untouched system was the passenger oxygen, which was not needed because the aircraft stayed below 10,000 feet.<\/p>\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top: 22px;\">ECAM Armageddon<\/h2>\r\n<p>Modern Airbus cockpits are built around ECAM \u2014 the Electronic Centralised Aircraft Monitor, a system that watches roughly 250,000 sensors and parameters and serves up checklists when something goes wrong. In a bad simulator session, a crew might work through four of those checklists. On QF32, about 40 queued up within the first seconds, and roughly 60 more followed. By the time the aircraft was parked, the pilots had actioned around 100 checklists in the air and another 20 on the ground.<\/p>\r\n<p>Some checklists contradicted what the crew could see. Severed wires meant the aircraft often could not tell a dead sensor from a zero reading, so ECAM reported some systems healthier than they were, and others sicker. The master caution chime rang again and again; each time the crew cancelled it, a new failure brought it back.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin: 0 0 24px;\"><img data-opt-id=1241463025  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto; border-radius: 6px;\" src=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/cb:0e0_.b970\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/qf32-trent-900-engine-damage-atsb.jpg\" alt=\"Damaged Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engine number 2 of Qantas A380 VH-OQA after the QF32 uncontained failure\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" \/>\r\n<figcaption style=\"font-size: 13px; color: #777; text-align: center; margin-top: 6px; font-style: italic;\">The shattered No. 2 Trent 900 of VH-OQA after landing at Changi.

De Crespigny has been unusually honest about the moment the flood of information overwhelmed him \u2014 a candour that made his account, later published in his book <em>QF32<\/em>, required reading in cockpits and control rooms far beyond aviation.<\/p>\r\n<p>His answer came from space-flight history. Recalling how NASA flight director Gene Kranz handled the Apollo 13 crisis \u2014 telling his engineers to stop obsessing over what had failed and focus on what still worked \u2014 de Crespigny inverted the logic. Strip away the broken systems, and what remained was, in effect, a simple aeroplane: wings, fuel, flight controls, wheels, brakes. Enough to land.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background: #f8f9fa; border-left: 4px solid #5C91FF; padding: 20px 22px; margin: 18px 0 24px; border-radius: 0 8px 8px 0; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;\"><em>\u201cAll these checklists coming in were filling up my mental model.

Richard de Crespigny<\/strong> \u2014 Captain of QF32, in Eurocontrol\u2019s <em>HindSight<\/em> magazine (2019)<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top: 22px;\">Five Captains, One Flight Deck<\/h2>\r\n<p>Here is the twist of fate that QF32 is famous for. A normal A380 crew is three pilots: that day it was Captain de Crespigny, First Officer Matt Hicks and Second Officer Mark Johnson. But de Crespigny was due his annual route check, so Check Captain Harry Wubben rode along to assess him \u2014 and Senior Check Captain David Evans rode along to assess Wubben. Five pilots, with tens of thousands of hours between them, on the one flight that would need every bit of it.<\/p>\r\n<p>Rather than crowding the cockpit, the extra captains slotted into the team. Hicks worked the endless ECAM checklists. Evans was handed the landing performance calculations. De Crespigny flew \u2014 and made the judgement calls that computers could not.<\/p>\r\n<p>One of those calls came straight out of military flying. Before attempting a landing, de Crespigny insisted on a controllability check at altitude: slowing the damaged aircraft in its landing configuration to prove it would still obey the controls at approach speed. At the time, no Airbus or Qantas manual required it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background: #f8f9fa; border-left: 4px solid #5C91FF; padding: 20px 22px; margin: 18px 0 24px; border-radius: 0 8px 8px 0; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;\"><em>\u201cThe decision to do the control check was critical. I think it was the most important decision that I made on the flight.\u201d<\/em>\r\n<div style=\"margin-top: 10px; font-size: 14px; color: #555;\"><strong>Capt. Richard de Crespigny<\/strong> \u2014 on the controllability check, <em>HindSight<\/em> interview<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>The fuel system, meanwhile, had descended into chaos: eight of eleven tanks unusable, pumps and transfer galleries dead, both fuel computers failed, and a growing imbalance as fuel poured from the punctured left wing. When de Crespigny asked his four colleagues whether anyone understood the fuel system, the answer was silence. They stopped trying to fix it and worked with what they had.<\/p>\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top: 22px;\">Fifty Tonnes Too Heavy<\/h2>\r\n<p>An A380 taking off for Sydney carries far more fuel than it is certified to land with. Unable to jettison fuel \u2014 that system was damaged too \u2014 QF32 would have to land roughly 50 tonnes over its maximum landing weight, fast and heavy, with degraded brakes, no anti-skid, half its roll control and none of its leading-edge slats.<\/p>\r\n<p>When Evans fed the failures into the landing performance application, the computer simply refused to produce an answer. Only after the crew removed the wet-runway assumption \u2014 Changi's runway was dry \u2014 did it spit out a result: the A380 could stop with about 100 metres of its four-kilometre runway to spare.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin: 0 0 24px;\"><img data-opt-id=179649230  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto; border-radius: 6px;\" src=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/cb:0e0_.b970\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/qf32-engine-2-damage-diagram-atsb.png\" alt=\"ATSB image showing damage to engine No. 2 of Qantas Flight 32\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" \/>\r\n<figcaption style=\"font-size: 13px; color: #777; text-align: center; margin-top: 6px; font-style: italic;\">Damage to engine No. 2 as documented by investigators.

The landing gear went down on the gravity-drop backup system. Approach speed was 35 knots faster than a normal A380 touchdown. De Crespigny flared gently \u2014 against advice to plant it \u2014 judging that a hard touchdown risked collapsing the gear into the fuel-soaked wing.<\/p>\r\n<p>At 11:45 am, VH-OQA touched down, blew four tyres under maximum braking, and came to a stop with runway still ahead of it. The hardest part of the day, strangely, was still to come.<\/p>\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top: 22px;\">The Engine That Would Not Die<\/h2>\r\n<p>On stand, the crew shut down the engines \u2014 and engine No. 1 kept running. The disc fragments had cut both sets of segregated control wiring to the outer-left engine; the fuel shutoff valves, and even the fire extinguisher bottles, no longer answered. De Crespigny opened his cockpit window, looked back, and watched the fan still turning while roughly four tonnes of fuel gushed from the wing near brakes heated by maximum-effort braking.<\/p>\r\n<p>The exchange with the fire controller has become aviation legend. \u201cWe said, 'Put water over the hot brakes, and put foam over the fuel'. They said, 'Well shut down the engines first.' And we said, 'We have!'\u201d de Crespigny recounted. Firefighters eventually drowned the engine with foam and water \u2014 it finally flamed out more than two hours after landing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background: #f8f9fa; border-left: 4px solid #5C91FF; padding: 20px 22px; margin: 18px 0 24px; border-radius: 0 8px 8px 0; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;\"><em>\u201cWe've got a situation where there is fuel, hot brakes, and an engine that we can't shut down.

When the scene stabilised, passengers walked off through one door, down one set of stairs. Injuries: zero.<\/p>\r\n<p>De Crespigny then did something found in no manual: he followed his passengers into the terminal, briefed them in person on exactly what had happened, answered questions for the better part of an hour \u2014 and gave them his personal mobile number.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; margin: 24px 0;\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" style=\"position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; border: 0; border-radius: 8px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JSMe1wAdMdg\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-no-lazy=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top: 22px;\">It Started With an Oil Pipe<\/h2>\r\n<p>The Australian Transport Safety Bureau traced the whole event to a single component deep inside the Trent 900: an oil-feed stub pipe whose wall had been machined off-centre during manufacture, leaving one side too thin. A fatigue crack opened, oil leaked into a hot cavity and caught fire, and the fire weakened the intermediate-pressure turbine disc until it burst.<\/p>\r\n<p>The fallout was industrial as well as regulatory. Qantas grounded its A380 fleet, inspections swept the world's Trent 900s \u2014 53 engines ultimately came off wing over suspect or undocumented oil-feed stub pipes \u2014 and Rolls-Royce paid Qantas A$95 million in compensation. Repairing <em>Nancy-Bird Walton<\/em> took until 2012 and cost about A$139 million, including six kilometres of new wiring in the ravaged left wing.<\/p>\r\n<!-- mf-faq -->\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"mf-faq-block\"><style>.mf-faq-block{margin:34px 0}.mf-faq-item:not([open]) .mf-faq-answer{display:none !important}.mf-faq-block h2.mf-faq-h{padding-top:22px;margin-bottom:14px}.mf-faq-item{border:1px solid #e2e8f5;border-radius:8px;margin:0 0 10px;background:#fff}.mf-faq-item summary{list-style:none;cursor:pointer;padding:15px 50px 15px 18px;font-weight:600;color:#1a1a1a;position:relative;line-height:1.45;user-select:none}.mf-faq-item summary::-webkit-details-marker{display:none}.mf-faq-item summary::after{content:\"+\";position:absolute;right:18px;top:50%;transform:translateY(-50%);font-size:1.5em;font-weight:400;color:#5C91FF;line-height:1}.mf-faq-item[open] summary::after{content:\"\\2013\"}.mf-faq-item[open] summary{border-bottom:1px solid #eef1f8}.mf-faq-item summary:hover{background:#f5f8ff}.mf-faq-answer{padding:14px 18px;color:#333;line-height:1.6}.mf-faq-answer p{margin:0}.mf-faq-answer a{color:#5C91FF}<\/style>\r\n<h2 class=\"mf-faq-h\">Related Questions<\/h2>\r\n<details class=\"mf-faq-item\">\r\n<summary>What happened to Qantas Flight 32?<\/summary>\r\n<div class=\"mf-faq-answer\">\r\n<p>Qantas Flight 32, an Airbus A380, suffered an uncontained failure of its No. 2 Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engine on 4 November 2010, four minutes after taking off from Singapore.
