Damaged oil pipe led to Qantas explosion

An investigation has found a crack in an oil pipe led to a Qantas A380's engine to explode mid-air over Indonesia two years ago. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) on Thursday released the third and final report into the incident on November 4, 2010. The aircraft, which had left Singapore's Changi Airport bound for Sydney with 469 passengers on board, littered debris over Indonesia's Batam Island before turning back.
