I always feel safer in Boeings than Airbus.
I think its the fact that Airbus A300-600 American Airlines Flight 587, that crashed into Queens, New York on Nov 12th 2001, was eventually blamed on "agressive use" of the rudder controls by the co-pilot, rather than turbulence, which caused the composite materials to fail and the vertical stabiliser to snap off the plane.
All it took was 20 secs of excess rudder movement, back and forth.
