    What: Feeder Airlines Fokker 50 en route from Juba to Wau
    Where: Wau
    When: Mar 29th 2012
    Who: 50 aboard
    Why: THe runway has been in the process of being repaired for the past several months. The pilots were apparently not advised regarding the necessity to touch down at midpoint due to construction. The first attempt at landing was aborted; on the second, after touching down, the plane left the pavement, and stopped on the ground with a nose and main gear collapse. At least five were hospitalized.

    Passengers evacuated with some casualties, including a broken leg.

    We sincerely hope ATC and the airport will accept responsibility for any inaction on their part in this matter.

    What: Jetstar Airbus A320-200 en route from Adelaide to Darwin
    Where: Adelaide
    When: Mar 15th 2010
    Who: 163 passengers
    Why: While en route, the right engine made a “bang” and the crew returned to Adelaide.

    The plane’s right engine either emitted fire, or sparks or nothing at all. (The story depends on who you ask.) This fire that didn’t happen was or wasn’t put out by a fire extinguisher before landing. (This story also depends on who you ask.)

    According to Jetstar, there was no fire, only a mechanical fault.
