I'm glad it didn't turn out like another nose gear bounce on the same runway a few years back.
Which one was that?

With that kind of wrinkle in the fuselage, it's likely the main keel beam has been damaged, in which case you probably won't ever fly it again, it'll get scrapped.Ouch! It is just painful to watch!!! I guess that I won't be flying JA610A for a while. I'm glad it didn't turn out like another nose gear bounce on the same runway a few years back.
Hum! The FedEx MD11.... The conditions were as bad as that day as well, gusty as hell all the way down according to some of the boyz flying that day.
So this was an AB initio crew?
I seriously haven't seen a PIO like that since teaching private pilots.
I don't know the particular crew involved nor would I comment on them if I did, but I have flown with many mainline guys and they are on the majority, well trained, good pilots, this is a company that spends 4 years training a pilot before they release them into the right seat and then they spend many years flying domestic before they start flying international trips, I can assure you that they were well trained, experienced pilots just like the MD11 pilots were, how about knowing the facts first.
