Question

411A, What is your point that you are making?
This A320 landed with probably with no injury to anyone due to it's avanced flight laws and protection.Without this, who knows what would have happened? The Tri-Star didn't have this protection when it encountered the micro-burst in Dallas, if I remember. Both are good aeroplanes and I'm sure the crew were experienced in both cases. Airbus is now improving there aircraft to be even better. I don't believe one should stay away from an airbus because of it's technology. I enjoy the Airbus and believe it to be very safe, so long as it is treated with the due respect that any aircraft would need.
