Passengers heard a loud bang from one of the plane's engines.
SYDNEY - A Qantas Airways flight bound for Brisbane suffered an engine failure after take-off on Nov 8 and circled for a short period of time before returning safely to Sydney Airport, the Australian airline said.A journalist with national broadcaster ABC was on the flight and said there was a “sharp shudder” on the plane after the loud noise, his news outlet reported.
Uncontained engine failures, where engine fragments fly out of this housing, can result in serious damage to the main body of an aircraft. “It’s not clear at this stage if the two incidents are linked and investigations are continuing,” the airport added.
