In light of the daily fail putting up ANOTHER article about this, someone has now commendted on it:
"Cracks in any metallic frame are a sign of failure..... IT IS NOT METALLIC... It is composite Fibre.... It is also in an area of brackets that are there for production purposes... If it was possible to take these out after the wing is finished they would have done... They have no Structural Component to the finished plane.... It has been stated over and over again... Airbus say its safe, the bodies that regulate aircraft say its safe. The conspiracy theorists are have a field day over this"
Is this true about the location and importance or are they talking rubbish?
