By the way the accident didn't happen at the Paris Airshow but in Mulhose.
The computers did not land the A/C in the woods, the pilots did.
That what happen when pilots want to be ''Hot Dogs'' ( Two Check Airmen on top of that ).Pull the circuit breakers to disengage the computers, end up in Direct Law ( no stall protection among others) and you have a perfectly serviceable aircraft in the woods.
After 2000 hrs + on A-320, I learned that the Airbuses are fantastic aircrafts if flown the way they are supposed to be, like any other a/c.
The pilots (Captain) was charged with manslaughter but the case is still in court on appeal..
