The ATSB has yet to confirm if this event is related to the other Airbus A330 ADIRU occurrences.<ref name="ATSB_InterimReport" />
===[[Qantas Flight 72]]===
On 7 October 2008, [[Qantas Flight 72]], using the same aircraft involved in the Flight 68 incident, departed Singapore for Perth. Some time into the flight, while cruising at 37,000 ft, a failure in the No.1 ADIRU led to the autopilot automatically disengaging followed by two sudden uncommanded [[flight dynamics|pitch]] down manoeuvres, according to the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB). The accident injured up to 74 passengers and crew, ranging from minor to serious injuries. The aircraft was able to make an emergency landing without further injuries. The aircraft was equipped with a [[Northrop Grumman]] made ADIRS, which investigators sent to the manufacturer for further testing.<ref>
