Well, the same accident between airbus has happened before. The A330 that fell apart over queens and now the Air France over the equator. It's mostly due to the composite latches that attach the Vertical Stabilizer and the Fuselage. Composites are meant to hold a certain amount of weight before breaking, and should not be put in a high stress area like the Vertical Stabilizer connection. Airbus Sucks!
The airplane over queens was an A300 not an A330, The problem was not due to composites, as the the NTSB states in the final report. With these pilot faults made in the queens accident, any aluminium vtp would have ripped of, well before, exactly after the thrid rudder conversion, not as the composite vtb after the fifth. so far to your knowlegde, about airbus, composites and compareable accidents
It should not, if it were used, as specified. But the pilot stressed it with wrong inputs way beyond stress limit, and at this point every vtp would have ripped off. If you use the rudder to respond to wake turbulence and create massive stress on any vtp, by reversing the rudder several times, the vtp rips off, it not designed for restand more than four rudder reversions, the composite vtp ripped off after the fifth, boeing stated that their aluminium vtp would ahve seperates after the fourth
15.2 billions? wtf? the a380 costed 2 thousand million... they are BIG FAT LIERS

Maybe with all that money, they'll figure out how to build an airplane that doesn't fall apart in thunderstorms ...

stupid asshole, airbus arent famous for their crashes.. crashes may happen with any plane

isn't that coincidence that they land well on water ???hmmm

Maybe they'll make ones that don't crash into rivers of forests lol

Any airplane will fell apart in these thunderstorms in the itc, no matter of boeing airbus or any other

Yes, it was a A300. Sry. But, the aircraft was still climbing WAY under Va. The Tail Should not have snapped off even if it was aluminum.
