Sharksandwich is an idiot
Fatal Plane Crash Rate for Selected Airliner Models

This is an engine issue versus an airframe manufacturer issue. Airbus does NOT equal RollsRoyce

I do not have a problem with the idiocy reference.
But what I intended to say is, compared with Boeing 737s and 747s, one would expect problems with a 40 year old design which has been up-dated.
But Airbus was designed this century, with 40 years of technological advance that was not available to designers and engineers in the 1960s and 70s.
So why do they fail with depressing regularity? That was the only point I was trying to make.
