Aero-Views: Canadian Columnist Loses The Plot

Toronto Sun's Eric Margolis Opens Mouth, Removes All Doubt

Aero-News Quote Of The Day (03.26.05)

"The Airbus A-300 and A-310s should be grounded until their tails can be proven 100% safe." Source: Toronto Sun columnist Eric Margolis in his March 20th article on the near tragedy that befell an Air Transat Airbus A-310 when virtually all of its rudder separated from the rest of the aircraft.
