Qantas flight 32

4 November 2010 Qantas flight 32 is heeded for Sydney from London with a stop at Singapore airport. There are a total of 440 passengers and 29 crew. The plane is a airbus A380-842. 

After the passengers had boarded the plane took off. 2 hours into the flight the plane was now over Bantam Island. 1 minute later one of the engine had exploded and oil started leaking. 

The pilot immediately called the airport. They had to go back to Singapore airport so they turned back. They had to go back quickly because they didn't have much fuel. Part of the wing had got damaged. 

People could see the wing damage and the pilot switched off the damaged engine. Finally the pilot could see the air port and contacted the control tower then they landed bumpily. The plane was still going very fast. The pilot immediately put on the brakes. The plane stopped with fuel leaking  on the runway. Fire trucks and ambulances came. The ground crew helped the people to get off the plane. 

The plane was immediately taken under investigation. As for the people everyone survived. Investigators found that the cause for the explosion was that a fatigue cracking in stub oil pipe that had been manufactured improperly.

A road trip to remember

Image
This is my story of my family's first road trip in US we planned in just 2 days, covering 4 National Parks and 5 states where we will be travelling a total distance of 2200 miles in 8 days. Our trip to India we had planned all summer was cancelled at the very last moment, due to some visa issues. All our bags were packed and the mood in the house was gloomy to put it mildly. My father was planning to go extreme on the road trip. His idea of the road trip was to travel the breadth of America from West to East, starting from Seattle in Washington to Boston in  Massachusetts. To put it into perspective that would mean a distance of 3,045 miles one way and then back. That would be just 6 days one way drive even if we drove like 500 miles per day with my younger brother who is just 4 years old. Thankfully some sense got into him, and we decided to abandon the plan. So, what actually ended up happening was a more planned trip, where we covered 250 miles per day and enjoyed the  rest of t

My Trip To Seaside

Image
It was the summer break, and no summer is complete without a trip to the beach. It was pretty last minute, but we managed to book a lovely Hotel room with a view of the sea, and this is the story of my trip. Hope you enjoy reading this. It was a nice sunny morning on August 2, and I was super excited to go to Seaside!!!, So we packed our bags and had some breakfast and left for our first stop  The Astoria Column . It was a total 3 hours drive. As we were crossing through SeaTac my brother and I saw four Alaska Airlines and two Deltas as well as a Southwest . The Deltas were a a330 neo and a 737 and the Southwest and Alaska planes were just 737s. After a few hours later we entered Oregon through this super cool and long bridge, and I saw some long container ships.                                                                                   Few minutes later we pulled into the Astoria Column it was so tall and had some historical pictures on it. After purchasing a $1 wooden airpla

A Visit to Palm springs

Image
It was early in the morning, and I woke up to the sound of my mom's footsteps going to the kitchen. I tried to go back to sleep but I just couldn't because I was too excited to go to Palm Springs, California. We had already packed our bags the night before and our uncle was coming to drop us off to the airport, where we will be meeting our friends and fly together. It was the middle of December and departures were all backed up, like the Wall Street had just closed for the trading day.  After 40 minutes we arrived a SeaTac international airport and I hugged my uncle, and we went into the Alaska airlines section. The SeaTac airport is spread in an area of 2500 acres and has 3 runways. The airport entered service in 1949 and is owned by port of Seattle.  There we checked in for our flight and we waited for our other friend's family to come. Once they arrived, they checked in and we all went to security check and then we went on a tram to the N gates, our gate was n11. Once
