just saw on the news....looks like an MD-11

It looks like it is on it's back, not much left. Hope those guys made it out!

Just showed video of it on CNN...porpoising on landing it looked like, then the left wing catches the ground and it flips...good luck guys...

Looks just like the landing in EWR back in 1997. That crew got out, let's hope this crew was able to get out safe.

 

[RedDogC130]

That video is bad....this does not look good.

CNN now reporting one person taken off, though they dont know the condition. They are also saying that this aircraft would have 'at least one pilot, and maybe a copilot'...so at least they are up to their usual standards of useful information.

Looks like a bad bounce recovery.

That didn't take long.

Not trying to flame, I'm genuinely curious. This one is what, number six?

No time for this Bull Sh*t. Fox news reporting the crew passed away. God bless the families of the crew.

Damnit, that sucks! My best friend is an MD-11 Capt at FedEx. He's fine, Thank God, just talked to him.

You're both an idiot and a jerk.:uzi: Please, no more stupid questions from the peanut gallery.

OMG that looked horrible, nice day and then just a ball a flames. I wish they would have been able to do a balked landing off the bounce. Winds were gusting up to 49kts.

FOX NEWS reporting 2 dead.

Talking now about the history of accidents similar to this with MD-11 aircraft. I don't know much about it, but they are saying that the tail of these aircraft was modified which changes pitch control on landing. Is there any truth to that?

God Bless

This plane has a history of this.

You can call me whatever names you want, but it's hard to argue that FX has suffered a disproportionate number of approach/landing incidents. Yes, I feel horrible for the families, yes, I feel terrible about this happening at all, but there is a trend here, and it's an alarming one.

BTW, my best friend agrees with me on this. He must be an idiot and a jerk also.
