TAILCHASER:- Gimme a break!? I had thought that the title was wrong just after I posted it. However I thought that no-one would be sensitive enough to point it out! NO is the answer to your question! I dont know if it was a failure!
Do you want me to change it, until we find out he facts? I will if it causes anyone any problems.

Now it makes sense 
That reminds me, I was sitting at 26L hold @ LGW a couple a weeks ago and saw Cougar's Big Cat on short finals. He then proceded to make one of the WORST landings I've ever been lucky enough to watch. I've never seen anyone bounce a 727 before! Even ATC made a comment it was that good! I've done a few cruchers before, but witnessing that was classic.
Anybody here going to be brave enough to own up to it?

Why does the BBC have to resort to tabloid style reporting when an Airbus is involved in an accident? The article on Airbus reliability, where past accidents are listed by date and location, conveys the message to the uninitiated that the Airbus is an unsafe product. It fails to mention the fact that in 29 years of Airbus operations, there have been 15 fatal accidents, 14 out of which have been attributed to pilot error. The last accident involving AA 578 is the only one that may prove to have been caused by mechanical failure.
