I find it interesting to compare that headline with the subdued version in jkkw's Qantas link : "WING TIP INCIDENT AT LOS ANGELES HANGAR"

You should have seen the original headline of that smh.com.au article: "Qantas crash in Los Angeles causes millions of dollars damage".

I really hoped for a *turnaround* in A380 operations by Qantas, but this is ridiculous!

I really hoped for a *turnaround* in A380 operations by Qantas, but this is ridiculous! It's not ridiculous at all, but there were two reasons they had to announce a postponement : - Cash conservation is a serious concern. - Psychologically, taking delivery of more expensive airliners might send a "we keep spending money" signal. To be avoided when you cut your workforce. Deliveries may be resumed at any moment if market trends warrant it.

It's not ridiculous at all,... Eh...it was just a play with words...seeing the A380 turned back to the hangars after the collision.
