A Yemenia Yemen Airways Airbus A310 crashed on June 30Th. The same day a Spirit Airlines Airbus A320 Diverted to Daytona cause of smoke. This is making Airbus look bad now, don't you think?

Do your research Wes, it's not the manufacturer that's the issue here.

Another very sad incident, but i don't think this is down to Airbus!

This was a very old A310 that had reportedly many faults (the EU is considering banning Yemenia from flying in the EU as it's safety/maintenance record is not very good to say the least).One person quoted Yemenia aircraft as flying cattle trucks
