I could only reply one thing to that guy… Some drivers got killed because one of their tyres burst on the freeway… Those tyres were made of rubber. For that reason, all cars with rubber tyres should get pulled of the road.
Don’t you agree guys ? :diablo:

A couple of months back when an Airbus landed in the Hudson river, it was considered world’s best airliner.
How media easily changes its opinion……:rolleyes:

When the A300 came down in New York in 2001, did the entire tail fin get ripped off or did the rudder come off alone ? I can’t remember…
It was the whole vertical stabiliser assembly, rudder and all

wherein hydraulic pressure pulses from different sources can get out of phase
That’s the first time I’ve ever heard a fluid not influenced by gravity described as a wave!
I thought there was a lot of speculation over the AF A330 on forums until I read that. What a load of absolute nonsense. That said, at least my 4 flights over the next 2 days are on Boeing, not Airbus. Don’t want any of those dodgy plastic planes. (Joke, of course!) 😀

If I gave my actual opinion of such ill-founded, one-eyed, alarmist claptrap, I’d probably have to ban myself. :diablo:

When the A300 came down in New York in 2001, did the entire tail fin get ripped off or did the rudder come off alone ? I can’t remember… The picture I saw of the AF wreckage recovery seemed to show tail and rudder together albeit seperated from the rest of the fuselage (judging by the distinctive livery). So consequently, according to what’s already been published concerning the ACARS messages, could there have been too many manual rudder inputs by the crew, as per 2001 ? It would seem to be the case that the computer systems protecting the rudder from excessive manual input were disabled by whatever forces the plane was subjected to that night…

I read about half of it but then realised I was wasting valuble life living time.
If its about Airbus why is the picture of Alitalia MD80’s? If they’re gonna construct an arguement to ground airbus planes atleast get the basics like a photograph right.. :rolleyes:
I’m surprised journalists have enough time to write rubbish like that. Shouldnt they be reporting on the credit crunch or sitting in a warzone and reporting on that?
