Very unfortunate incident, and I'll be willing to bet that somewhere, someone is blaming Airbus. *rolls eyes*

It blows when the deceleration curve is linear.

The FAA has grounded all Airbuses until it completes a thorough investigation of wheel-well passenger safety accomodations.

What the media doesn't say is the other sixty passeners packed in the wheel wells made it without any probem. They always report the bad news and none of the good.

Sorry Peter Pan, but:

High up, and as light as I can be.
I must be a sight lovely to see.
I'm flying.
Nothing will stop me now:
Higher still look at how
I can zoom around,
'Way up off the ground
I'm flying.
I fly and I'm all over the place
You try and you fall flat on your face.

----------------splat-----
