This is phobia. Experienced American Airlines A321 captain's words after takeoff. Airbus doesn't do anything like that. During takeoff from Newyork for 14 to 17kts crosswind suddenly kicks left rudder from 8° to 25 degree causing more than 30° bank and hits runway marking board during rotation which permanently bent the wing leading to a write off. They almost lost control could have crashed. It's simply ridiculous.
