"There were no fatalities among the aircraft's crew and passengers but 3 died"
In the infobox: 121 passengers + 6 crew = 127 people total. If there's 121 survivors there must have been 6 fatalities, which doesn't match the sentence above either.
The three fatalities were on the ground, according to ASN. I've rewritten the article to clarify this, improve language and add references. I haven't found any references for the stated number of injuries, though - no idea how many were onboard and how many were on the ground.

I haven't seen any proper report that could corroborate the version that the onboard computers were to blame. I think that aviation safety network's has more than enough credibility, and it's report contents should be transcribed here. --

I've read the report and it shows clearly that the crash was due to pilot error and not due to computer error as stated in the wikipedia article.

While reading the crash report more thoroughly, I've reckoned that the causes of this crash were quite similar to the TAM's a320 crash in congonhas. Both had one engine's reverse inoperable and both crews were unexperienced in airbus aircraft. Also there's America West Flight 794, (
http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=20020828-1), wich seems to have the same cause.
Anyone knows of similar incidents involving the A320?
