Positively amazing!!

Just think, hundreds (thousands) of pilots worldwide for years and years flew heavy jets with manual throttles, and never scraped the tail, extra long body aircraft included.

Yet, here comes newer 'technology' long body aircraft (A321) with 'computer intervention' with the power setting on landing...and bang goes the tail.

Ain't it wonderful?
