No kidding. . .a design scarier than terrorists. . . and they are still flying!?

Every single Airbus should be grounded, if a control piece of the plane can be blown off, by the wind of low speed (take-off).

I now see why the saying "If it's not Boeing, I'm not going" sticks.

What's Airbus's slogan. . . 'it may be cheap, but at least it's inexpensive. . . fly with your fingers crossed, and the controls straight' (?)
