That's nothing, apparently the 380 has had more in-flight emergencies, (different from declaring an emergency) in it's short operational life than the Concorde had in it's entirety, (OK, a 380 hasn't crashed).

Yes, but imagine all of those Nectar points when you fill her up with 120,000 litres.

It was rumoured here that someone put a 380 into the sea on a test flight!

I'm looking forward to the first nacelles coming into work for repair.
Shouldn't be long there bound to have a bird strike at some point they all do.

Mid '90s I flew to the Philippines with Philippine Airlines when they still flew from the UK. It was a pretty old 747, they're on the 747/400 now, I think this was a 747/0, creaks and groans all the time. You know the cool drawer in that galley where they chill the canned drinks etc, taking off after one of the intermediate stops I watched this wave of water spill out of the cool drawer and run down the aisle next to me. I'm thinking to myself, ****, there's probably all kinds of wiring under there
