    Where: New York
    When: Monday
    Who: 511 passengers
    Why: Prior to take-off, half of the passengers were accommodated by a later A340 flight, and the rest were moved to other flights.

    The A340 was grounded in New York due to a problem with the fuel tanks (cited as a “technical” problem.)

    Another A380 was grounded due to an unspecified “minor computer problem.”

    Are we surprised to hear that fly-by-wire is imperfect?

    No ‘Errors’ In Sao Paulo, Brazil Plane Crash

    Mechanical or other failures were not responsible for the crash of a Brazilian airliner that killed 199 people in July, a report released Thursday said.

    The report, presented to Brazilian lawmakers, came from the manufacturers of the Airbus that crashed at Congonhas Airport in Sao Paulo, O Globo TV reported.

    However, the same congressional panel that heard the findings by Airbus determined last week that a misaligned engine throttle was likely the cause of the crash.
