Airbus Vertical Stabilizer again with no plane attached.

Crash investigators located the tail of the Airbus plane and were overly confident they would find the black boxes with it.  They were so confident they had stopped listening for the pingers. 

Obviously the investigators aren’t familiar with the history of Airbus.  If they were they would have continued listening knowing of the other Airbus design flaw.  That flaw is the long storied history of Airbus not being able to keep the vertical stabilizer attached to their airplanes.

See Airbus makes their vertical stabilizer out of composite.  That composite is supposed to be as strong as aluminum, but evidence shows it is not even close.  As a result the vertical stabilizer continually falls off Airbus planes.

November 2001. (3 months after 9/11) Airbus took off from JFK following in the wake of a 747.  The larger plane created turbulence.  The turbulence ripped off the vertical stabilizer, which floated down into Jamaica Bay.  The Plane crashed into Queens and everyone died.  The official investigation blamed the pilot for working the pedals too hard.  Pilots around the world rolled their eyes knowing full well the vertical stabilizer needs to remain attached to the plane no matter what the pilot does.  Nonetheless (as always) it was the pilots fault.

In 2005 Airbus took off from Canada and half way through that flight again the vertical stabilizer fell off the airplane.  Somehow the pilot managed to land and nobody died.  Since the pilot was still alive they decided to blame that mishap on faulty inspection.

When air France crashed in 2009 the first wreckage  found was the vertical stabilizer.  It took them two years to locate the remaining wreckage because they were searching where they found the Stabilizer.  Unfortunately that was miles and miles away from the rest of the plane.  This fact led many to conclude the stabilizer must have detached high up.  When the official report came out there was no mention of the Stabilizer being an issue.  Everything again was blamed on the pilot.

Here once again they have found the Vertical stabilizer with no plane attached to it.  It that a surprise?  Not to me it isn’t.
