Fedex incident in NRT right now.. anyone heard anything?

[aviatrix767]

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

Holy crap...thoughts and prayers.....

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.

I tried the other video link and it didn't work for me. I found this on Youtube. Very hard landing in what looks like windy conditions with a porpoise and then flipping to the left side. Pretty scary!
