Just heard on the news that the only two crew members on board did not survive. God speed.

That was a horrible looking sequence of bounces in the surveillance video. Godspeed to the gallant crew.

The MD-11 can be a first class hand full on a windy day. R.I.P. to the crew if the news reports are correct. By the grace of God go I, so lets all be careful out there.

Wow. Truly a sad day. After watching that video it seemed like they pushed full forward after the second bounce. I don't think the crew would react this way. I wonder if something broke in the first bounce (pallets came forward,flt control problem).

My thoughts and prayers to the crew and family members. RIP guys.
