Sorry to defend Airbus but as a European I am going to. After all we all know Airbus is better than Boeing and no further debate on that as it is fact
Anyway I would like to question the sources of the article.
A website called Wave quotes "A highly-respected German news magazine"
So which magazine is that and which page, edition etc?
Also why was it not in FI?
I believe that in the Crash report on the AA accident the test results showed that the tail withstood much more force than was required before failure.
This smacks of poor journalistic style.
