The NTSB said: - "The Airbus hit a 747's wake, the pilot applied too much rudder peddle, and the tail snapped off." If there was an ounce of truth to that, the FAA would have grounded all Airbus A-300s. The Concorde that crashed in Paris, which was caused by runway debris, was grounded for a year.

Who is the culprit? This was identical to Egyptair 990, which Israel was responsible for.
