Hungry dog keeps Qantas jet grounded

A hungry dog was behind strange electrical problems which forced the grounding of a Qantas A330 jet after a flight from Auckland to Melbourne last month.

Australia's Courier-Mail newspaper reports the hungry dog escaped from its cage and gnawed through the planes electrical wiring, causing the malfunction of the planes auxiliary power unit.

The Courier-Mail quoted an engineering source as saying: "The dog ripped out several wires which set off the cockpit warning and then it had a go at a number of electrical units in the rear of the plane.

"Under duress the animal obviously went nuts, biting through anything that it came across." MORE>>
