So please don't participate to this witch hunt that we regularly see with the A380, or with the Airbuses in general.
583 (Tenerife) had nothing to do with aircraft type. Others (Pan Am flight 103, Air India flight 182) account for hundreds more. The type has also been in service for 45 years FFS. And if you're going to compare the total number of airframes built then use the same criteria on both sides.
