Astounding! Here is a more in depth analysis of the event:

I love the quote about how this series of events was a One in a 100 Million chance of occurring, yet it occurred anyway -- and the aircraft has only been in commercial use for how long? A year -- two?
I have never been comfortable at all with flying my virtual Airbus aircraft because of the fact that Airbus has designed these planes to override the pilot if the computer detects incorrect human action. I understand the reasoning and the statistical justification, but to put a computer completely in charge like that just seems "scary wrong" to me.
