Original article: Is the Airbus a lemon?

A Couple Of Questions ...

Hi Patrick. I'd like your take on two particular aspects of the Airbus crashes. 1: That a 12-year-old girl could survive the Yemenia crash relatively unscathed (her worst injury was, reportedly, a fractured collarbone). 2: The 2 crashes (and other aviation incidents in 2009) have cost airline insurers their highest monthly losses since September 2001, which likely means higher insurance premiums for airlines already struggling to survive the recession.

Thanks!

JJ
