32 Hurt in Airbus Test Evacuation
From Reuters
March, 27 2006

PARIS - European aircraft maker Airbus said Sunday that 32 people were
injured, including one whose leg was broken, in a test evacuation of its
new A380 double-decker airliner, but it called the test a success.


And they cheated and BARELY made it. They used a normal load, which
is something like 650 people, but the damn thing can carry 850 people
in it's max load configuration.

It's a disaster waiting to happen.


That thing is just too big. It'll never fly.
