A couple of days ago the NTSB found the 320 series to have too
sensitive a rudder, it can be torn off with peddle pressures.


"After being buffeted by the wake from a jet ahead of them, the pilots
made several sharp rudder movements." Note the key word "several".
"Several" sharp rudder movements may break any aircraft at any speed,
especially big ones, as any pilot sould know, especially after the
American Airlines crash from 2001.
