Subject: RE: BS: Qantas A380 blows engine
Sorry for the typo fixed now.

Passenger video screened here shows that there was minor wing and fuselage damage. It also shows fuel leaking from under the wing - but perhaps that was just the fuel dump - I don't know where the dump vents are.

Apparently the reason from the water spraying was that one engine would not shut down - they didn't say which one, but the footage I saw seems to imply that it was the damaged one. There was supposedly also a small fuel leak as well.
