Fire on Alitalia 747B leads to Canberra emergency landing
An Alitalia Boeing 747B en route from Sydney to Melbourne with 118 passengers and 18 crew diverted to Canberra after the inner port engine ignited. Fire crews cooled the engine with carbon dioxide extinguishers as molten metal seeped from the damaged gearbox area. Passengers were moved to the VIP lounge at the RAAF base and a spare engine was flown in from Singapore for repairs. The Department of Transport will hold an inquiry.
