Last night, an Airbus 320 with 146 passengers plus crew crashed into the mountains in France.

"We do not yet know what has happened to flight 4U 9525," Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr told Sky News

FROM FOX NEWS:
The plane, operated by German carrier Lufthansa's budget airline, Germanwings, was 44 minutes into its flight from Barcelona in relatively clear weather when it dropped from a cruising altitude of 38,000 feet to around 6,800 feet over the town of Barcelonnette. The eight-minute descent was described as unusually rapid, but possibly controlled though it left the plane too low to navigate the mountains.

Is it just me, or does there seem to be a problem with the 320's?
