I suggest some of you read the NTSB report regarding USAirways Flight 1702.Tail strikes across the board are not as uncommon as you think,not hard to do a google search and take your pick.But this accident you just cannot makeup,rejecting the takeoff at approx 50ft takes the cake.This accident has something for everyone.

Some tail strikes are justifiable!! Really?.Just had had a mate of mine go through one,on very short Final they get a "wind shear" alert,proceed with the windshear go-around profile,in full go around mode,Toga,pitch etc and still get the tail strike,those with a clue will see how this happens.Anytime I hear of a tail strike,rather than jump to conclusion,I rather dig deeper and find the cause(s)
