Holy crap? Seriously, how do you do that during a demo flight? Look at that wing flex. I want to have someone at Airbus look me straight in the face and say "the wing was designed to do that". Uh huh. I've never seen this thing land smoothly ... it's always a "firm" landing.

And who was the genius who decided that using reverse thrust over the grass was a good thing? Take a look at the last seconds of that video. They are sucking up debris into the engines.

Really Airbus? Really?

Remind me to never fly on this thing.
