I was quite surprised when they said "the pilot pushed the pedal too hard". That was about the most lame thing I ever heard. I don't think a car company could get away with that. "you pushed the brakes too hard so your car blew up, your fault." It seems more like "our plane is structurally defective, your fault." Ever since then I tried to fly on Boeing planes only. Being from Seattle it is easy to find support for this idea.
