A Qantas 767 bound for Manila yesterday was forced to return to Sydney when hydraulic fluid started leaking from a critical steering unit shortly after take off. Some Qantas are concerned that cost-cutting and overseas maintenance could be putting safety at risk. At first, there was a hole in the plane (the plane was forced to land in Manila), few days there, there was a door failed (which forced the plane to land in Adelaide). Beijing is preparing for Olympics, and the pollution control seems to be working. 5.4 magnitude earthquake hit Los Angeles.
