Sorry lomapaseo have to take issue with you. there would seem to be an identified problem with the CF-6, not just limited to the modle on the A300, it has suffered some nasty failures and was about to get another ticket from the FAA even before this incident
guardian A300 crash story
as for no smoking gun, why do we have to wait for someone to get shot before we go do something about a problem.
example, back in late 80's 737-400's - which were new at the time - had a series of engine shutdowns in climb (also CFM engines by the way CFM56-3 i believe) while the authorities were fannying around the kegworth crash happened.
too make your point lomapaseo, yes the crash was a series of unpredicted events & suprises(and a pilot error - i am really sorry to say) however the accident could not have happened without the initial "gun" which with hindsight could have been seen smoking months before if it had been looked for.
call me paranoid but having looked at the safety record of the 734 at that time i told my girlfriend of the time not to fly on it and a week later.........
Is tombstone technology still the best we can do?
