Um, the problems are with wiring and also that the plane is tremendously overweight. A Web search will also identify a number of other claims by "inside" anonymous sources who talk about everything from the wings snapping off to a mid-air explosion akin to what happened with TWA-800 years ago.

I'd take a Boeing jet anyday over that flying tank. The 787 Dreamliner is going to be sweeeeeeeet and I am going to avoid flying on the A380 at all costs. Think the airport is crowded now, and that you have to wait too long to retrieve your luggage (or it gets lost)? Wait until you have to be in an airport with a 380 coming in/departing!

(disclosure: I have a family member that is a 30-year Boeing employee, and my bf is an engineer there)
