This one being compared with the BA go-around at Gibraltar and some odd instances of other lesser known events being cited in T O P.
Any 'bus drivers here who can shine some light on possible uncontrolled manoeuvres on the type?

Re: Airbus Wobbly Wings.
Seems feasible.It is being discussed at American that as the aircraft was at rotation, JFK Ground had cleared a heavy jet into the ramp and he used a great deal of power to get moving. His jetblast, coming from a 90 degree angle to flight 300 on takeoff, is being considered a factor in the roll of the Airbus as it lifted off causing the displacement from the runway and the wingtip drag.
Powerful taxi thrust could most certainly be an factor. Many years ago I witnessed a DC-10 literally blow a small aircraft up and onto its nose, then onto its back during landing with the thrust of those DC-10 engines powered up while exiting the runway and turning 180 degrees.
