This Malaysia Airlines plane turned back to Melbourne airport within minutes of take-off.
MH148 was carrying 300 passengers en route to Kuala Lumpur when an engine fire alert went off.
All the passengers on board got off the plane, and some of them said there was little panic.
(SOUNDBITE) (English) UNIDENTIFIED PASSENGER SAYING:
"They were quite calm, the captain was quite calm. They said everything is OK. They said that we will give you more information when we landed, that's what they did."
(SOUNDBITE) (English) UNIDENTIFIED PASSENGER SAYING:
"We haven't been given a lot of information, but we can say the crew handled it magnificently and we're astonished at the captain's aplomb in bringing us down from what must have been a difficult descent."
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau says there were no signs of a fire after the plane landed.
The incident's another blow to the confidence of the "technically bankrupt" Malaysian carrier, after its two disasters last year.
