I said from Day 1 that any theories about terrorism in this case would be clarified once the civil lawsuits started.

As if they would admit culpability in court.

Boeing makes their planes with the vertical stabilizer firmly attached to the aft bulkhead with a strong spar. The French, on the other hand, built their Airbus with no such spar -- the entire vertical stabilizer attaches via 6 bolts on the top of the fuselage, making for a much weaker joint. The $64 question is why did those joints fail? My guess is that the plane should never have been built this way, hence, a design flaw, courtesy of France.

As I recall, the French Aviation Administration also blamed an american airline - Continental Airlines - for the crash of the Concorde. Didn't they claim that something fell off of the Continental aircraft (serviced, mind you, by french airport workers at CDG) and that caused the tire to blow on the Concorde.
Everyone is to blame, except them. Yeah, right!
