Prayers for the missing (French explicitly included), and for understanding what led to this.

I seem the recall that the Airbus is significantly less safe than Boeing jets, even more if you exclude the 9/11/01 four jets lost to islamists.
Is this true?

I believe this is the first major crash involving an Airbus 330 in commercial use.

I heard that the Airbus is a fine aircraft. It's a piece of crap built by a Euro consortium including the French.

I believe this is the one that is completely flown by wire, without backup hydraulics directly tied to the pilots’ console.

It's "fly by wire". A million software bugs flying in close formation.
