Maybe it's just me...but I find the subject of this post and the reference to "the Miami crash" to be unfortunate and irresponsible. We should avoid sensational pronouncements such as these on FlyerTalk.
The American Airlines A300 did not, in fact, "fall out of the sky" (true, FQTV did somewhat clarify that part in the first sentence) and it certainly did not "crash" at Miami yesterday.
