Richard de Crespigny - QF32 - Keynote Speaker

Early into the Singapore/Sydney leg of flight QF32, one of four engines exploded. The damage to the aircraft was extensive. On top of ensuring that 460 or so passengers remained calm during the ordeal, Richard had a mammoth task on the flight deck to keep the aircraft in the air and then get it back on the ground. For two hours he and his fellow crew (technical and cabin) remained calm as they planned to stabilise the damage, configure the overweight aircraft, then manoeuvre it towards Changi Airport in Singapore. Once on the ground, a recalcitrant engine refused to shut down, fuel was leaking near white hot brakes and a new environment was set for potential disaster. Passengers remained on board for two nervous hours before they safely disembarked. The incident brought into play Richard de Crespigny's considerable skills involving teamwork, problem solving, judgement, knowledge, experience and putting years of highly-skilled training into practice. This pivotal event has changed his life forever. His autobiography QF32, which tells the story of the incident in gripping detail, is a best-seller. Not only that, it won the Best Non Fiction award in the 2013 Australian Book Industry Awards and the Australian Independent Booksellers Best Non Fiction award for books released in Australia in 2012.
