More data out on the USAIR accident in Philly. May be some interesting lessons learned on the Airbus flight control logic. Close up pics I saw showed both engines destroyed with nacelles ground down to the engines. Nose gear destroyed and fuselage wrinkled. Severe tail strike on aft fuselage. Looks like aircraft is a strike. Must have been a wild ride to get the nose gear, tail and both engines with the main gear remaining intact.
