Fun fact, whilst Qantas Airlines has had some serious incidents, they’ve never had a single fatality, even with an engine failure like what we see here with flight 32.
@@bsolutions525 My name is NOT pisslam girl. Do you have a grudge against muslims? Then maybe we shouldn't talk anymore as I'm not here to start fights with people I don't even know.
If this is the incident I'm thinking of: the adjacent engine to the one with the fire was unable to be shut down due to the damage and fuel was spilling onto the runway after the plane had come to a complete stop. It took some time to get the situation under control so the passengers could safely deboard.
The incident is really an incredible confluence of factors - a freak accident (unconstrained engine failure; shrapnel disabling hydraulics, severing multiple electrical trunks, setting fire to a fuel tank, etc.) causing chaos with the instruments, combined with the most overqualified crew possible to handle it (experienced pilots, along with both an extra check captain AND a senior check captain checking him that day and even an off-duty pilot providing critical info from the cabin). Terrible and amazing luck all in one flight, but it's a real blessing this problem was discovered and fixed without any loss of life. Too many safety guides and alerts are written in blood.
Did Rolls-Royce not have quality control? Like they're one of the most prestigious and best transport manufacturing companies in the world. I'm baffled as to how faulty oil pipes got passed them like that.
"This Tiny Pipe Brought Down This Massive Plane" Plane is an A380. Me: Wait...I thought no A380s had ever crashed? and then I realized they meant 'brought down' as in 'had to make an emergency landing'.
My understanding of the failure is that when the pipe broke it deprived the main bearing between the compressor and the turbine of oil. The lack of lubrication then caused the bearing to fail, which in turn severed the interconnecting shaft. When the shaft severed it decoupled the turbine from the compressor. Once the turbine was relieved of the mechanical load imposed on it by the compressor it cause the turbine to spin way up and immediately go into overspeed. Ultimately it was the excess rotational speed that caused the turbine to come apart. The fire was actually just a secondary effect of the broken pipe and it didn't directly cause the engine to explode.
Somehow you have to account for the turbine coming apart and throwing out turbine blades, which damaged the wing. The turbine going into overspeed because it became uncoupled from the compressor explains the turbine disintegrating.
Wait wait wait...that’s not at all what I heard. The story I got was the water pump had a leak causing leaking coolant to run onto the timing belt. This caused the belt to slip due to the lubricity in the coolant. When the belt finally slipped enough it broke and then the pistons and valves in this model interference engine made contact bending the lifters and damaging the pistons to the point the engine stopped. Classic example of not changing the water pump eventually causing engine failure when doing a timing belt change. The cam oil seals should also be replaced when an engine is the overhead cam model. On a non overhead cam it’s less vital if a leak develops. Always always always buy components as a package to insure no differences in quality.
No, the oil was introduced into the engine in high temperature air, the resultant fire raised the temperature of the intermediate turbine disc above its design temperature in seconds, the disc expanded, started wobbling, and broke apart. Thermal loads in a turbine are a fine balancing act, these engines run much closer to limits than most other machinery, thus the requirement for absolute quality control. The repost pointed the finger at the RR plant where this part of the engine was made, serious cultural problem with regard to quality assurance, most other parts of RR did not have the problems - the fish stinks from the head. Most, perhaps all of the turbine parts are made by RR, yet even this vertical integration did not save them. They were very lucky that the debris from the turbine missed the pressurised cabin, passengers and further critical systems - bloody lucky!
The plane never crashed, engine 2 had a small explosion which caused shrapnel to fly into the wing and damage the controls in the left wing and all control in engine 1. Pretty dumb title
Obviously Rolls Royce needs to make a better engine. Not because of the oil pipe, but because of the uncontained failure. A turbofan engine should be able to remain contained within the pod, even under catastrophic failure of the rotor.
This was a turbine failure, the rotor was not affected. The turbine, being driven by the exhaust of the combustion chamber, can easily exceed the design load of any containment you could put around it. The forces involved are so great you would need to encase the whole thing in a couple inches of steel to contain it, that just is not economical for a failure that has such a low chance of occurring in the first place.
that's why british and australian based airlines and whomever flies A380s should consider putting general electric engines on the A380. BUT NO AIRBUS IS TOO DAMN PICKY
@@derekwall200 That was highly biased. The GEnX was not developed yet, and all the other engines were not fit for the A380, rlls royce made engines for the A380 via contract with Airbus Industrie, they also had another manufacturer but most airliens chose the rolls-royce.
Powertampa ...low chance or not, you willing to risk YOUR life on it? Economical or not, fix it or park it! I wouldn't risk MY life on it for a $10Mil life insurance policy! But, you go for it if you choose to....
Makes sense, engine oil isn’t exactly highly flammable but it is combustible which means if it comes into contact with heat and air, it can ignite, that’s what happened the stub pipe had high pressure on one side and low on the other, the pipe couldn’t withstand the pressure and broke causing oil leakage into the combustion chamber, that’s where the jet pipe is, where exhaust gases drive the turbine, oil was ignited in there sparking fire onto the turbine disc which probably spun out of control and exploded.
3:09 I just wanted to make the observation that 34 is not an even number in the 4th multiplication table. That means atleast one aircraft had part good engines part bad.. Don't know why this would be interesting i just found it funny. "the a380 has 4 engines"
LOL "On 29 May 2014, a Bombardier C series CS100, registration C-FBCS, serial number 50001, with 2 pilots and 4 test engineers on board was conducting engine ground runs at the Montréal International (Mirabel) Airport, Quebec. During the test, at 1837 Eastern Daylight Time, the left engine (Pratt & Whitney Canada model PW1524G) experienced a sudden power loss caused by an uncontained turbine rotor failure"
If Raymond were to go to an airport today he would have a meltdown with Qantas. No crashes, but known engine failures drive him to pound his own head in a REEE moment.
Leaking is one thing... An outright pipe failure followed by a spill of oil which at it's peak would have been measured in liters per second is something completely different.
AT THE TIME THAT AIRCRAFT ENGINE WERE HAVING ROTOR DISC PROBLEMS THEY WERE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH LOCOMOTIVE TURBOCHARGER AIR WHEEL FAILURES! I WONDER IF WAS CAUSED BY MATERIAL SHORTCOMINGS OR MANUFACTURING MISTAKES!

it was metal fatigue in one of the turbine blades inside the engine. combine metal fatigue with the extremely hot temperatures inside the engine it'd be only a matter of time before you have a fan disk failure

Didn't crash thankfully. Pilots were able to bring down the plane. Also not a real cliffhanger since you can figure that out by the engine; since if it did crash it would of been destroyed completely but as shown it only suffered a blow out.
Most of the aircraft's flight controls were either noticably degraded or non-functional as a result of the uncontained engine failure. It was a minor miracle that the crew were able to successfully land the plane period, and they did it without any injuries at all.
