[Comment: Wait a second. When these things fail, you can't tell just by looking at them. So, to make us feel safe, the FAA has allowed the airplanes to keep flying until the airlines get a chance to....look at the tail fins???? How about grounding the planes since there are so many extra planes right now anyways, and make the required inspection include the use of ultrasound and x-ray techniques???]

Interesting isn't it? When the Concord hit something on the runway in Paris, got a flat and crashed, they grounded all of them for a year.

What's different here?
