Now came out: With the incident, one wing tank was damaged. Kerosene stepped on it. That could have been bad start ...
The machine, with 114 passengers on the way to Thessaloniki, was in the climb over Stürzelberg. Parts of the engine cowling broke off, fell into the abyss and barely missing a man in his garden.
Anxiety among the passengers. Although the pilot could not find any drop in pressure, he decided to immediately return to Dusseldorf. He made the decision right place.

Conceivable that there is a manufacturing defect. This does not mean, however, that have all Airbus jets of this type, the error in the engine cowling. It could also affect only individual production pieces. "
In three months, the investigation of an Institute for Materials Research should be completed. Only then it is clear whether conclusions must be drawn from the accident. That could be, for example, the choice of other materials for the engine cowling or a reinforcement of the hinges. The investigation of the experts are continuing.
