There is an airlines called Qantas.
Yes, yes the same, the Australian one.
It used to have the most flamboyant exteriors.
For some years it has been in news for many wrong reasons.
Today was enacted one of those wrong reasons.
Flight from Sydney to London via Singapore with Boeing A380 would have been a boring one but one of the four engines (yes, yes A380 has lots of engines) decided to claim its share of Warholian fifteen minutes.
Coincidentally Stephen Fry was traversing the same route-traveling by an A380. (Why is he not a Sir already? Sorry to poke my nose.)
Then Qantas created the news mentioned above. A Boeing A380, after break journey at Singapore, had the above mentioned failure mid-air the fourth engine stopped working because of oil leak type of things.
Rodney Thomson wondered whether it was the same plane that was carrying Sir Stephen (yes, yes we'll later claim to be the first users of the title.)
Sir Stephen said yes it is. The action was shifted to Dubai where the flight was diverted to.
And there have been other tweets-equally amusing. Real life working like you know what.
And everybody is now talking about this because of BBC and others.
