I do wonder about the structural state of these machines operating on the limit. Sure they are built maintained and operated very carefully, but are there constant engineering evaluations done on things like flutter.

I can only guess that is the cause of trim tab failure and at 500 knots .......Too much to contemplate an out of trim elevator.

Very sad for all involved directly and indirectly. Will this go the way of the Red Bull?
