about 2 weeks ago a an A300 on a short filght between lahore and karachi.
Had its aft bulk head ripped out and damadged the cables causeing the aircraft to climb 3000ft and nearly stall .the main cables of the horizontal stabilizer and elevator were jammed.the hydraulic lines were
also damadged....the aircraft some how landed with no one hurt.
the airbus people have been aware of this for a long time now but have been hushing it up this is not the fist time such structural
failures have occured in the exact same location

I dont think anybody is hushing it up, as far as I know there is an AD out calling for inspections to be carried out in that area.

But dont expect any press releases.
