@ Ex Cathedra:

I'm well aware of that being a 380, just pointing out Airbus history. The link clearly refers to it being a 380, and I remember it being report so at the time.

Reinforcements were subsequently made and the wing was certified.
So it was made heavier - and once again they fail to meet their stated range/weight predictions made to the bean counters who purchase these things, and then pay contract penalty fines after the fact.
