^ Yeah I mentioned it a bit earlier with Trollhunter. Maybe he needed a break from surviving.
He didn't find it ofcourse in the double episode.

Talking about surviving, great episode of Mayday last friday. An engine blew up on a new A380, shrapnel tearing through the wing, fuel lines, electrics and hydrolic systems. They need a triage system with the computer system, for an hour the pilots got swamped with error messages in the cockpit, and could only handle them one at a time. Giant flying computer with everything failing.
They barely made it back down, with about 150 meters to spare on a 4000 meter runway, still leaking fuel. People could not get off for another hour until the fuel leak was under control, leaking next to a running engine that could not be shut off due to the damage, crazy.

Awesome 400 million dollar fully automated plane with almost 500 people aboard, nearly brought down by a small substandard oil pipe near the engine. 1 tiny corner cut is all it takes...

I guess they were lucky none of the shrapnel punctured the cabin.
