Weather was not a factor!
Or, is it possible that airbuses are not really meant for human full understanding?
Notable accidents, and yes, easy to blame them on pilots:
- Habsheim airshow, 1988, seasoned crew. Still fresh in my memory, seeing that unbelievable crash on the French evening news that same day; it would not have happened with any other aircraft make.
- Air New Zealand Airbus crash in the Mediterranean (Perpignan) 2008, seasoned German & NZ crew, including engineers, no one understood, until too late.
- Qantas and Lufthansa substantial loss of altitude due to sudden uncommanded pitch-down descent, 2014, causing, at least in one occurrence, serious injuries. Remedy to that was to pull a CB, wasn't it? There too, seasoned Australian and German crews.
- Etc., etc.
