I hate flying. I can’t explain it, but I have a terrible irrational fear of being in a plane. I just can’t get my head around that much metal not falling out of the sky. And now my fears are made worse – Airbus has found cracks in the wings of the A380 – but says it’s still safe to fly.
The A380 is Airbus’s biggest plane – a massive double decker tube that carries 525 passengers. A crack was found two weeks ago in Australia, but two more planes have been found to have the same problem, a mere four years https://premier-pharmacy.com/product/klonopin/ after delivery. But Airbus isn’t considering this to be a problem – they maintain that the crack doesn’t affect the safety of the plane to fly. Yeah, sorry, I’m not buying that.
The cracks are on an L-shaped bracket which connects the wing’s exterior to the internal “rib” structure. Airbus issued the following statement:
Airbus confirms that some additional cracks have been found on a limited number of non-critical brackets … inside the wings of some A380s. Airbus emphasizes that these cracks do not affect the safe operation of the aircraft.
I think I’ll be driving to London, thanks.
