Qantas Plane Cracked Windshield
Qantas Plane Cracked Windshield – Qantas passengers have boarded a flight at Melbourne Airport more than eight hours behind schedule after their plane was grounded with a cracked windshield.
The flight, QF93, took off in the early hours of this morning.
The crack was detected yesterday as the Boeing 747 was flying between Los Angeles and Melbourne.
Qantas says the incident did not pose a major safety threat to passengers.
More than 200 passengers were forced to wait the windshield was repaired.
Some passengers said they were happy to be getting underway but wished they had been told more about what was going on.
It is the second time this year that a Qantas flight has been grounded because of a cracked windshield.
The incident follows the grounding of a Boeing 747 on Friday because of a wiring fault.
The same plane landed safely in Sydney last Tuesday after reporting engine problems on a flight to Singapore.
