Qantas Flight 32
Qantas Flight 32 was a Qantas scheduled passenger flight which suffered an uncontained engine failure on 4 November 2010 and made an emergency landing at Singapore Changi Airport. The failure was the first of its kind for the Airbus 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 (on the port side nearest the fuselage) had disintegrated. The aircraft had also suffered damage to the nacelle, wing, fuel system, landing gear, flight controls, the controls for engine No. 1 and an undetected fire in the left inner wing fuel tank that eventually self-extinguished.〔 The failure was determined to have been caused by the breaking of a stub oil pipe which had been manufactured improperly.
The aircraft was registered in Australia as VH-OQA, and named ''Nancy Bird Walton'', Qantas' first A380. The failure occurred over Batam Island, Indonesia, on Flight 32 from London Heathrow Airport to Sydney Airport, four minutes after taking off from Changi for the second leg of the flight. After holding to determine aircraft status, the aircraft returned to Changi nearly two hours after take-off. There were no injuries to the passengers, crew or people on the ground; debris from the accident fell onto Batam.〔
At the time of the accident 39 A380s were operating with five airlines — Air France, Emirates, Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines (SIA) and Qantas. The accident led to the temporary grounding of the rest of the five-plane Qantas A380 fleet. It also led to groundings, inspections and engine replacements on some other Rolls-Royce powered A380s in service with Lufthansa and Singapore Airlines, but not in the A380 fleets of Air France or Emirates, which were powered by Engine Alliance engines.

The aircraft involved was an Airbus A380-842, registration number VH-OQA, serial number 014.〔 Having entered service on , the aircraft was the first A380 delivered to Qantas and had four Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engines;〔 it was named ''Nancy Bird-Walton'' in honour of an Australian aviation pioneer.〔 After completing repairs in Singapore, estimated at $139 million, the aircraft returned to Sydney, New South Wales on 22 April 2012.〔
