Very well, but what does this opinion have to do with the incident at hand? The comment "Another Airbus" suggests that a tailstrike during landing is an Airbus-specific problem, which is plainly untrue. It
is a problem that's more pronounced for aircraft with long-fuselages like the 737-900, 777-300, DC-8-61, or A346, but we knew that already, didn't we?
