Another Qantas jet makes emergency landing

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/australasia/another-qantas-jet-makes-emergency...

A Qantas passenger plane bound for Melbourne was forced to turn back to
Adelaide airport for an emergency landing after reporting a mechanical
problem, three days after a plane from the same airline had to land in
the Philippines with a hole in its fuselage.

Local news reports said the pilot told passengers there was a problem
with a landing-gear door above the plane’s wheel. It failed to retract
shortly after the Boeing 737-800 took off from Adelaide for Melbourne
yesterday. A Qantas spokeswoman said last night that there was no risk
to passengers’ safety during the “routine air turnback”.

Some of this stuff is made up to reduce the number of flights.
