OMD...

I printed out the article with your comments to show to MP, and I'm sure he will agree with your assessment.

He told me Sunday that until he has a satisfactory answer about the composite material, he has no plans to fly AirBus planes. (also the Boeing 777)

While the NTSB's metallurgists are among the best in the business, the science of composites is new territory for the agency. "The board has extensive experience with metals," said Tom Haueter, a senior investigator on the Flight 587 crash. "It has less experience with composites. That's why we're bringing in more experts."

This is what I alluded to earlier. The is the only incident but it is the *first* incident. As far as I am personally concerned.. ALL planes with composite materials in major structural components of the aircraft are suspect.
