As usual NPR is the only news source worth a damn in this
country IMHO.  This morning they did 6 minutes on the 587
crash and the examinabilty of carbon fiber structure.  They
talked about tap testing and concluded with ultrasound.
They ended the article by pointing out that a delamination
of the carbon fiber tail had been found during acceptance
testing of the aircraft in 1988 and a patch had been done to
bring the aircraft up to acceptable standards.   HMMMM.

NPR has their moments, a little to the left, but usually OK. BBC news or
German news is better.
