Hero QF32 pilot who saved 440 passengers when engine exploded in mid-air reveals how "picture-book day" turned to terror

A hero Qantas pilot who saved 440 passengers when his superjumbo's engine exploded in mid-air has revealed how a "picture-book" day turned to terror. Captain Richard de Crespigny was about to turn off the seatbelt sign on Flight QF32 when he heard a "relatively small" boom just four minutes after takeoff. A second later, he heard an enormous boom that was unlike anything he'd ever heard before - and suddenly found himself in a life-or-death emergency. (www.mirror.co.uk) さらに...

I hate to be impolite, but haven't we covered this? Did he write a SECOND book about the incident?

Old news. Happened years ago and a book QF32 was written at the time. A great read. The plane was almost uncontrollable after the incident as some of the control inputs were lost and fuel was spewing out the wing. The plane has since been repaired and returned to service.

It was not almost uncontrollable as the autopilot was working fine as far as I remember from his book.

The same day that happened I booked a flight to Heathrow from Melbourne on and A380, deliberately, BECAUSE I am aware of Richard de Crespigny as the head pilot of Qantas. The day we flew out the flight was delayed, and de Crespigny came to the boarding lounge and told us one engine had an oil leak, the same one that caused the explosion! He said he would fly with us to Singapore to keep an eye on the repairs, which took over three hours. Not a problem, and it was actually the first airplane flight for both me and my wife, but we had confidence in Qantas.

Except when the engine explodes and damages many critical systems in the aircraft, as happened in this case.

You have obviously not read up about what really happened are have a very good aviation knowledge base. If it was a simple engine failure you would probably have not even heard about this incident.

I read the book the Captain wrote a couple years ago. To be fair, there was a lot more going on than one blown engine.

While this an old story and the Captain does not mind a bit of publicity where ever he can get it, I think your comment is crass. Do you fly anything other than a simulator program on a clapped-out PC or perhaps a drone? You sure as hell don't fly airliners.
