Official report states that the Airbus control laws saved the RAF aircraft as if plummeted from 33,000ft:

The co-pilot was at one point walking on the ceiling in an attempt to get back to his seat and disengage the auto-pilot...

Who was saying Airbus are inherently dangerous?

"In an interim report published 12 months ago, the MAA said aircraft ZZ333 entered a steep dive from a cruise altitude of 33,000ft after its captain accidentally jammed a camera into his sidestick control as he moved his seat forwards."

er, how many teeth did the captain keep after the rest of the crew realised he almost killed them all? :D
