Qantas Airbus A380 jet engines during the flight in 2010 triggered a dramatic disintegration of the poor to build oil pipeline, failed to meet design specifications, investigators said Thursday in Australia, they go to the final report of an emergency situation.
Rolls-Royce Qantas A380 aircraft from Singapore engine exploded shortly after takeoff, forcing an emergency landing, and become the superjumbo passenger flights started in 2007 has been facing the most important security issues.

Agencies, leading an international investigation Qantas engine disintegration, ending several pipeline wall is too thin, does not meet the design specifications. Error disastrous domino effect, breaking the pipe wall is weak, then cracking and eventual release of oil into the engine overheated, causing a fire.
Transportation agency, said Rolls-Royce has identified all affected piping, maintenance of quality management system, and the implementation of security features, you should turn off the engine before it can disperse the same circumstances, if we did not happen.
Rolls-Royce said that it supported the Agency's findings, and to improve its production and design processes.
"This is a serious and rare events, we feel very sorry," Rolls-Royce engineering director Colin Smith said in a statement. "Rolls-Royce company, we constantly strive to meet high standards of safety, quality and reliability of our customers and their passengers are entitled to expect. On this occasion, we obviously are short."
November 4, 2010, the engine blowout sent debris raining down to the Indonesian island of Batam.
