Qantas planes collide
Two Qantas passenger jets have had an accident on the ground in near Melbourne according to reports.
Two Boeing 747's were damaged whilst being towed at the Avalon airport, which is Qantas' maintaince base which is located outside of Melbourne.
Ironically, one of the jets was the same jet that was involved in a mid-air explosion in July over the Phillipines. A major hole was ripped in the fuselage during that incident.
Local TV reports have shown footage of one of the jets with the nose caved in, allegedly after hitting the left hand wing of the other plane.
Qantas has said that maintenance staff involved have been suspended in light of the situation.
This accident is the latest in a string of unforunate events that affected Qantas, which is bringing their safety record into question.
