QF32 (Thumbnail)Click to play video

Remember flight QF32?

When 440 passengers boarded Qantas Flight 32 bound for Sydney in November 2010, they had every reason to feel confident. They were flying an airline boasting a unique safety record, on the world's newest, most sophisticated civilian aircraft, powered by prestigious Rolls Royce engines, famous for their reliability. But six minutes into the flight all that would change, when an explosion sent pieces of searing hot metal shooting out of the engine faster than the speed of sound. Four Corners tells the compelling story of the frightening hours that followed.

British voters give Cameron a thrashing

British Prime Minister David Cameron (L) walks hand-in-hand with his wife Samantha (R) as he leaves a polling station in London on May 3, 2012, after casting his vote in the local elections. Voters went to the polls in local elections in Britain on May 3, with London mayor Boris Johnson set to stay in office in an Olympic year but the governing coalition expected to take a battering. Cameron's two-year-old coalition with the smaller Liberal Democrat party has become increasingly unpopular due to a double-dip recession, austerity and a series of blunders.  AFP PHOTO / POOL / PETER MACDIARMID

ANTHONY FAIOLA Britain's ruling coalition has sustained punishing losses in local elections, with final results showing the Conservatives and their partner Liberal Democrats giving up hundreds of seats.
