3.McDonnell-Douglas DC-9 - A rudder screw
malfunctioned due to structural fatigue on
an Alaska Airlines flight near LAX.

just FYI, AS doesn't own any DC-9's. the aircraft involved was an MD-80.

and my two cents is that i've never felt safe aboard the A300 (going back several years). maybe that fact that Airbus is a government subsidized company has something to do with it?
