<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">According to Marshall, Flight 587, an Airbus A300, used a modern "fly-by-wire” computer system and could fly quite easily with complete loss of the vertical fin and rudder.</font>
The A300 is not fly-by-wire. Some expert.

Fly-by-wire doesn't mean the plane is suspended by a wire. All the computers in the world can't fly a plane that's missing wings, engines, vertical stabalizers, fins, etc..
Next he's going to say, "the plane was equipped with fully flat sleeper-seats in first class, thus the aircraft could fly over 500 miles per hour.
What an idiot.
