Rolls-Royce manufactured a thin oil pipe too thin on one side, which failed on the world's largest aircraft a Qantas A-380, flight QF-32 at an altitude of 4,000 feet.

The heat from the oil added to the fuel softens the internal nickel compressor fan causing it to expand and shatter within a minute.

The engine failure cut hydraulic lines, electrical lines, critical flight-controls and left fuel flowing from leaks punctured in the wing tank.

The flight control computer tells the pilots the number two engine has failed, followed by 58 failure alerts including impaired manual-operation only in two of the three remaining engines.

Watch how long it takes for the co-pilot to clear each of the 58 failure menus, as additional alerts are generated, and the pilot decides to return to Singapore in a barely controllable aircraft during November 2010.
