Accidente de avión en Sevilla: El accidente del A400M, un fallo en cadena desde Alemania a Sevilla. Noticias de Andalucía
in Spanish; for the adventurous, a Google translation:

Among assertions made by an anonymous source in the aeronautic sector (my translation): In Seville's Final Assembly Line, "Numerous security protocols have been skipped. If ground tests of the plane had included running engines at high speed before the maiden flight, the engines would have paralyzed before the plane got airborne". The journal states A400Ms produced before the troubled MSN23 had undergo such test.

I remark that this statement contradicts an earlier one reported by elconfidential, that the FADEC failure could not have been detected until the plane is airborne. A false news, a dismiss, two scoops.

I wish Airbus made an official statement of the known facts to cut on speculation.
