Its still HARD to believe that two American Airlines Pilots tore the Tail and Rudder off while encountering wake turbulance in that case.Boeings don't fall out of the air like that.

On 9/8/94 a US Air 737 in Pittsburgh just fell out of the air on final approach killing all on board. The crash was blamed on an uncommanded rudder movement, and all 737's had to be modified to (partially) avoid the problem.

Airbus doesn't have a monopoly on design flaws.
