zaphodbeeblebrox Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 (edited) How soon before the cover-up begins and Airbus blames the engine explosion on the volcanic eruption in Indonesia. It couldn't possibly be an aircraft defect, could it? Hard to blame maintenance as the plane shouldn't have had too much mileage on it.
