Australia's Qantas Airways said in a statement that preliminary findings indicate an engine failure. “After a short taxi, the plane landed safely at Sydney Airport. Our pilots are well trained to handle such situations,” they assured.
As they noted, they plan to conduct an investigation to pinpoint the cause of the defect. Passengers heard a loud bang, but it was emphasized that there was no explosion.
When the takeoff plane crashed, the grass along the runway caught fire. The service is determining whether these events are related. The fire was quickly extinguished and the airport returned to normal operations after several hours of disruption.
