Airbus safety
Just heard an interview between a senior Canadian pilot and Charles Adler, host of the national CORUS talk show today, in which Adler probes the captain's mind about safety of the Airbus.
The pilot said the Airbus is designed to handle any kind of severe weather which was a common factor for both recent downings of this kind of aircraft.
Interestingly enough, according to the Guardian newspaper (Great Britain), several pilots died when this plane was being tested during the 1990s. Here's the link:

BTW, there is a hgh-profile Canadian connection to the Airbus story beyond Canadians dying in these crashes and I quote from the same link above:
In August 2001, an A330 operated by Air Transat suffered double engine failure while flying from Toronto, Canada, to Lisbon in Portugal. The captain reported the left engine failed, followed 10 minutes later by the right one. The plane was able to glide for between 17 and 18 minutes – the longest ever for a passenger jet – and made an emergency landing in the Azores. Human error and lack of automated computer checks stopped the crew from realising that fuel was leaking via a broken pipe.

I remember that. My neighbour was actually on the island (Azores?) real time when it happened. Then there was that Airbus (Airbus again!) that crashed and burned at Pearson about 4-5 years ago.wolfwolf said:In August 2001, an A330 operated by Air Transat suffered double engine failure while flying from Toronto, Canada, to Lisbon in Portugal.
Also, does anyone remember seeing a video of that plane that landed in the waters off Madegascar (check spelling)?

that was an incredible accomplishment by the pilot, landing in the azores
