These drugs are 'helpful' but they aren't candy as they are currently treated. Over the counter drugs have their place, but, I am more than pleased the FDA are given back their 'teeth.'

Another Airbus fell out of the sky. Somehow a surviving five year old is more important than the rest of the passengers.
The statistics with the table below is a little deceptive and in my opinion is trivial. The fact that Airbus is more popular in the countries where these recent accidents occurred could make a couple of statements.
Airbus wants everyone to believe it is the weather. It isn't the weather or wind conditions. The typhoon season in the North Indian Ocean ended in May with an occurrence of all of two storms this season. There is a 'Tropical Storm' season that occurs in September and October but the storms never get that strong these days. The two cyclones that occurred in this ocean didn't acheive Cat. 2 status. They had maximum winds of 50 to 65 miles per hour. There is absolutely no reason why a Jumbo Jet can't fly through turbulence of 40 to 60 mph. These planes have engines that create winds stronger than that when they are preparing for take off. I don't want to hear the excuses anymore.
Since the Airbus crash of Air France, the Bowing Dreamline is back to the drawing board and we many see a Dreamliner in commercial flight.
To begin what the heck are we building such huge jets for in the year 2009? In case no one noticed, these jumbos were used by al Qaeda to attack the infrastructure of the USA. Then there is the issue of fuel. While the Dreamliner is supposed to save fuel, there is no reason to be traveling in such huge planes that use huge capacities of fuel. It makes no sense. There is nothing 'green' about planes.
The issue that two crashes of Airbus occurred in close proximity of each other is however significant. It means the mechanisms, computers, software have a longevity different than the plances. The Super-Jumbos are simply too big to fly. They are loaded with computer software to help handle their bulk in flight, take off and landing. If Airbus has a problem it doesn't matter if they haven't had accidents before or if they have had a million. A problem is a problem. You won't find me on a plane.

As rescuers search for survivors of the Yemenia Air Airbus A310 which crashed investigators will already be looking at possible causes.
Organisations record reams of data on commerical airliners around the world. This set - which includes the latest crash - is from consultancy Ascend. It shows us the most popular airliners in the world - and how many fatal passenger crashes each has had. It does not include terror attacks and there are other caveats too: for instance, the DC-9 have been in service for a long time and the current fleet is now reduced due to retirements. But it is a unique dataset - let us know what you think.
