NEW details have emerged revealing just how close Qantas flight QF32 came to disaster earlier this month.
Turbine fragments flew out of the plane’s engine when it exploded in mid-air, severing cables in the wing, narrowly missing the fuel tank and taking out flight control systems during the November 4 incident, according to a preliminary report by Airbus.
