  1. The news has not become available this week.

    The incident took place in 2011 and it was on the news back then. There was a preliminary investigation report released to public one week after the incident whose preliminary conclusions were also published in press. What happened this week was that the final report was issued and that is why some Press is publishing this as if it had happened yesterday.

  2. The vibration monitoring equipment on this A320 was made by me.

    1. Really? That is a tremendous endeavor and achievement. A very large portion of my education, career, and lifestyle have been devoted to aviation, so my hat is off to you, sir, for working to make the industry safer for all.

  3. I thank all those who ensure a safe flight (engineers, technicians, ground crew, flight crew, tower crew and all others involved).
    THANK YOU for a safe journey !!!!

  4. Thank you Linda.
    I also spent my working career designing and implementing safety systems for aircraft.
