Not according to the article.. Any sign of a problem in other planes could have serious consequences for Airbus Industrie. Airbus pioneered the use of composites in major structural components of passenger airplanes. Rudders and tail fins were first, in the mid-1980s. Some manufacturers now use composites for horizontal stabilizers, elevators and portions of wings. Boeing's new 777 passenger jet has a composite tail fin. Right now, I think I'd like to find out which planes do not have the composite material in major structural components... <edit> From your article.. One of the flight attendants warned a woman that she should keep her seat belt fastened, but she got out of her seat to use the lavatory anyway. She was injured during the incident. Gonna name names? :)
