| Damage to left wing and, I assume upon landing hard, rear gear. Photo six shows the damage well. |

| #2 .com Do you think it wise that a lobbyist for Saudi Arabia and kind will be given such a task? Anyway joining the Kerry side in the role envisioned for him would have meant at least another 4 years of hell in the region. |

| #1 According to the report, the wing fire knocked out *all* of the plane's hydraulics. Admittedly this is an extreme case, but it sounds like Airbus needs to take another look at the design. Otherwise, it doesn't look like the missle did all that much damage -- wonder why it didn't hit closer to the engine? |
