USA Today, "Key
question remains after crash"
As
federal investigators prepare for what could become a long
probe into the crash last month of an Airbus A300 in New
York, they are asking one key question here, in aircraft
factories in France and Germany and at a NASA materials lab
in Virginia.
American Airlines
Flight 587 took off Nov. 12 in calm skies from John F. Kennedy International
Airport in New York. But about a minute after liftoff it wobbled, the 27-foot
carbon-fiber fin flew off and the jet spiraled into the ground.
Investigators quickly gathered a wealth of evidence. They know how the
jet flew. They collected all the key pieces of the wreckage. But that has
so far not helped them uncover how and why the fin tore loose, according
to officials familiar with the investigation.
