What: Singapore Airlines Airbus A380-800 en route from Singapore to London Heathrow
Where: Heathrow Airport
When: May 25th 2009
Why: One of the plane’s four engines shut down causing an hour’s delay. The plane was taken out of service, and the return flight was delayed until the Airbus was back in service.

George’s Point of View

Airbus is just starting out with this monster and already having engine issues. Engine shut down is serious stuff, even though the monster can fly on less than 4 engines, it’s serious.
