According to Aviation Now:

"The board [NTSB] confirmed that Flight 593's thrust reversers were stowed, the flaps were apparently retracted, and the landing gear was up when the plane went down."

The NTSB doesn't like the idea of reversers operating in-flight!

[Constitution Scholar]

"Inspections of Airbus A300-600 and A310 tail sections haven't turned up any significant clues that would explain why an American Airlines A300-600's tail ripped away shortly before the aircraft crashed into a New York City suburb last week.

The checks, mandated for U.S. and French carriers under directives issued in those two countries Friday, were deemed necessary once investigators determined that the American aircraft's tail separated along an attachment point. About 20% of the world's 410-odd affected aircraft have been checked, and no carrier has reported anything unusual, sources tell AviationNow.com."

Problem here is after the NTSB investigated the crash site, who investigated the NTSB????
