Don't worry it's not a safety issue...

A Qantas A380 bound for Melbourne from Los Angeles had to turn around an hour into the flight because water was leaking from the upper deck to the lower deck. Described as "gushing" and wetting up to 80 passengers so it wasn't just a few drops.

The spokesman said "It wasn't a safety issue, it was just passenger discomfort,

Ummm - I would have thought that water anywhere near electrical circuits especially in a fly-by-wire aircraft WOULD be a safety issue? Or am I missing something?...

It's Boeing all the way for me...
