I know. Below is what Wikipedia says about this: On 4 November 2010, Qantas Flight 32, registration VH-OQA (MSN0014), suffered a significant engine failure[211] en route from Singapore to Sydney and was forced to return to Singapore Changi Airport to land. There were no injuries to passengers or crew.[212][213] Parts of the engine nacelle fell onto the Indonesian island of Batam.[214] Later that day, Qantas announced that their entire A380 fleet would be grounded until the conclusion of an internal investigation taken in conjunction with the engine manufacturer Rolls-Royce plc.

Boeing 747-8 is the American competitor in the long haul route market segment. Most airlines have ordered the A380.
