‘Qantas 10 is currently one of the longest commercial flights in the world, a 9,009-mile journey between London (LHR) and Perth (PER) that takes 17 hours, 50 minutes flying westbound and one hour less flying east with the jet stream.’
‘But passengers on Friday’s QF10 faced an even longer journey after a medical emergency followed by a crew timeout.’
‘On September 5, 2024, QF10 took off from London Heathrow at 12:58 pm. But a medical emergency occurred onboard, prompting a diversion to the Indian city of Bengaluru (BLR). The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner landed at 2:07 am.’
‘After the medical issue was handled, the flight took off again at 6:44 am, but by this time, the crew could not legally reach Perth due to maximum crew duty periods so the flight was forced to divert again, this time to Singapore (SIN). The flight landed in Singapore at 2:16 pm local time and was canceled.’
In TROME, that’s just how the cookie crumbles.
Adieu
Am assuming the movie Eden to be a farcical comedy about how people are enticed to inject poison and rewarded with doughnuts, (ok, apple fritters), which they choke on as they are dying?
More TROME. More crumbling cookies. So there.
Always a sobering and worthwhile read.
