Qantas Flight 32 was a Qantas scheduled passenger flight from London to Sydney via Singapore. On 4 November 2010, the aircraft serving the flight, an Airbus A380, suffered an uncontained engine failure shortly after takeoff from Singapore Changi Airport and returned to Singapore to make an emergency landing. The failure was the first of its kind for the A380, the world's largest passenger aircraft. It marked the first aviation occurrence involving an Airbus A380. On inspection it was found that a turbine disc in the aircraft's No. 2 Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engine had disintegrated. In addition to destruction of the engine, this caused damage to the nacelle, wing, fuel system, landing gear, flight controls, and the controls for engine No. 1, and a fire in the left inner wing fuel tank that self-extinguished. The failure was determined to have been caused by the breaking of a stub oil pipe which had been manufactured improperly.
