Catastrophic Engine Failure

[Ski at 1SKY6]

I was on a flight that aborted upon takeoff. One engine of the two engine plane crapped out and we decelerated and safely returned to the terminal. I will be flying to NJ soon to take my sister in for her surgery and I always keep my fingers crossed that something doesn't go wrong. I am cautioned by the Airbus being made of so much composite materials; also the pilot doesn't have the final say to over ride the computer in an emergency. Boeing has exploding batteries with the potential of causing catastrophic fires; and I totally avoid the L1011 craft due to the extreme maintainance the elevators and worm gears require in order to keep the tail functioning safely.

If you remember a new Airbus crashed in New York 2 weeks after 911 because it's composite tail broke off during a routine takeoff.

Maybe I should drive instead.
