I hold an airline transport pilots certificate and regularly fly a Boeing 747. “If it ain’t Boeing, I ain’t going”. The pilots have a nickname for the Air bus. They call it “Satan’s Kitten”. Get hold of Aviation Week and Space Technology and compare and contrast the Boeing vs Airbus design philosophies. Boeing relies on the PILOT. The friggin’ thrust reversers cannot be engaged on the airbus unless the struts are totally compressed, nor can the brakes be applied above a certain speed. As for the Airbus auto-pilot, try a go-around some day on an airbus with your wife and kids aboard. Better yet, doo a google video search of “Airbus Crash”. The Flight limitation restrictions imposed on the Airbus endanger passengers and crew. The damned airbus should never have been certified.`

The “Boeing” 747 has an accident rate 8 times that of the A320.

hi! i was researching this event because i was trying to have my aunt understand that planes don’t just break into tiny little pieces (ie. flight 93) and she brought up this crash. i haven’t been able to find anywhere that said that the plane burst into tiny little pieces…i have a feeling she made it up in her head. so far i’ve only seen that it burst into flames. can you provide any information as to why she thought this?
