Well, you hear it on all channels: "This is a disaster for Airbus," they say. Most of them don't even get that these are two different aircraft types.
Based on the probability theory, half of all airliner accidents will be Airbus while half of them are Boeings. There were a few Boeings before so now it's Airbus turn.
There's nothing obscure here. And with the worldwide growth of aviation, there will be some accident every few weeks. That's also probability. So you will have an Airbus falling from the skies every month or so. I really don't believe that anyone in his right mind and with at least some insight will see this "series" of accident as a problem or even as a failure of the industry.
