ATSB Final Report on QF32

[Head in the clouds]

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) has released the final report of its investigation into the QF32 flight of 4 November 2010..

 

Taking 966 days to produce, the 305 page QF32 report is the largest investigation the ATSB has ever conducted using resources from over 10 organisations spanning at least seven countries. The QF32 repairs were probably the longest (535 days) and most expensive (> AU$130m) repairs in aviation history. ATSB final report on QF32

I'll read this with interest, loved the book! Maybe now they will do an Air Crash Investigation episode on it (presuming they are still doing new ones?) Some in my circle might find it morbid that I read and watch these types of things, but to me I find it strangely comforting to learn of the wide variety of things that CAN happen (so I can be aware to prevent them) as well as that sometimes when they do, people CAN keep their cool and work their way through it. Sometimes it ends in a mess, but then again so does going for a run in Boston :-(

Certainly an interesting event. I though they would replace the entire left wing but they didn't. So much was going against them that it is very remarkable the plane survived. I wouldn't count on it being repeated successfully. Good effort from the crew. (That's an understatement)..Nev

I too loved the book so I'm very interested in this incident and report. I also need to watch the video on it.
