    The first a350 hull loss. The type only started flying in 2013 and entered service in 2015. This particular unit was about 2 years old. This is a very new plane to have completely destroyed. What a shame.

      First loss of any composite hull passenger aircraft. The fact it survived long enough for it to be evacuated is a great testament to the design.
