Time for some of you who think they are experts to eat humble pie with your "rush to judgement" comments from May this year regarding the Spanair MD83 incident at Liverpool.

The AAIB accident report has concluded that the above was due "a crack in a strut in the main landing gear, which on landing forced the wheels up into the wing and fuselage".

The AAIB has asked the FAA and Boeing to review the airworthiness of the MD83 because it is identical to an incident six years previous at Manchester (G-DEVR 27-04-1995).

It would be interesting to see the comments now from the people who you should have known better who posted on this forum at the time.
