Too Many Emergency Landings in Australia

Quantas Airways' safety standards are under review by Australia's aviation agency. This is because Sunday a Philippines bound jetliner spraying hydraulic fuel made the airline's third high profile emergency landing in eight days. I know one thing, I would be afraid to fly with them. That is just too many emergencies. This last one was a Boeing 767 with 200 passengers on board. It had to return to the Sydney airport soon after takeoff Saturday. Air traffic controllers saw fluid streaming from a wing. Scary, huh?
