Great article from a very reliable source that is known for its quality, investigative reporting, worth a read.

that being said, yes they are safe. don't hear about many boeing 737s crashing now do you?

Boeing 737 crashes

While it has more crashes than any other Boeing model, nearly all the crashes in the dates described in the article were due to weather and other circumstances, and not due to parts mentioned in the article.

I think someone must like Airbus because they are (gag) made in Europa.

Sure they're safe; unless there's say a bomb that's been surreptitiously placed on board OR some shadowy agency deploys GLOBAL HAWK technology to override manual systems, essentially taking control of the aircraft.
