This is a troubling report. I've read both the French and English
version of the grounding order: the English version is an accurate
translation. No mention of high time or turbulence. One finds
oneself drawn to the conclusion that some sort of construction defect
played a role. Tales of third party reports of insufficient resin are
troubling and certainly deserve a more complete explanation,
recognizing, of course, that liability is still being considered by
lawyers. And recognizing too that there is such a thing as too much
resin in composite aircraft construction: you don't just ladle on as
much epoxy as gravity will hold in place if you are trying to find the
best balance of strength and weight. But if a given factory is
producing parts that fail in flight this certainly calls for more than
hints of workmen drinking too much beer and inspectors abdicating
their responsibility. Let's get serious with this, shall we? Does
anyone have more than suspicions of beer drinking and third party
negligence?
