Just a couple of things:
1) I donīt think anybody has to blame AB. As I posted earlier, a B737 took of without flaps, and even the loud warnings, the pilots did nothing; do you think then that this is a faulty design from Boeing, alow an aircraft to take off without flaps?
2) Of course it would be a madness, but, Is it possible to put a net to stop planes that overrun, just like in a carrier?
