This is not the way that Qantas wanted to celebrate it's 90th birthday! The fact that it was also their first A380 in service isn't helping!

I was look at the Trent engines and I came across a mention that the 1000 had a similar failure in testing to the 900 in service with Qantas

Here is the article reporting the failure

GE might be getting a leg up in future A380/787 orders!
