Fedex Plane Down In Japan

[WMUSIGPI]

What is the runway alignment there? IE how much of a crosswind was that?

Folks, there is a difference between analyzing a crash, or asking questions about factors that may contribute to a crash, and badmouthing those who have perished.

While it may not be the time to be speculating or asking the questions, that time will come. If the crew made a mistake, they made a mistake. If there was some other factor, so be it. Find out what happened and why and figure out a way keep it from happening in the future. What ever the outcome it in no way diminishes the memory of the crew or mean they were any less professional or skilled - they had a bad day and sadly they did not walk away from it. It can happen to any one of us on any given day.

Best wishes to the family, friends and all at FedEx.

34L and 34R

My thoughts and Prayers go out to those that perished, their families, friends and the whole FEDEX operation.

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.

They also fly more MD11s than anyone else...chances are when that type has an incident, FedEx may be involved. Simple numbers, not technique.

RIP guys...

 

[Beetle007]

Crazy to see several MD-11 accidents under almost the exact same circumstances (i.e., hard landing followed by one gear collapsing and aircraft flipping).

 

[F/O]

My first thoughts are I hope they were killed before they burned to death. That would be a horrific way to go....

WHY DON'T Y'ALL SHOW SOME ********************ING COMPASSION FOR THE CREW AND THEIR FAMILIES. SAVE YOUR FIGHTING FOR ANOTHER DAY AND ANOTHER FORUM.

BTW, aimed at those who were squabbling back and forth, not those asking questions about the circumstances of the accident.

 

[i fly boxes]

seeing a video like that just makes everything we bitch about seem so petty. I pray for the families of the crew.

Dear Mod, if you felt like you had to post this do you not think maybe you should settle down a little? Beavis? BTW, did you delete a post on this thread?

 

[AC560]

God speed.

 

[EX_CV580FR8Dawg]

What's with FedEx and approach/landing accidents?

Go back to listening to your iPod and jerking gear and yourself on that barbiejet, a$$hole... have some common effin' decency dickhead!

 

[Hold@FIR]

Flyboyike, it's the timing of your questions that's so ghastly inappropriate. Have some f*&^ing decency next time.

 

[TWA]

BTW, did you delete a post on this thread?

Several.

 

[PeanuckleCRJ]

My thoughts and prayers certainly go out to the family and friends of this crew. May they rest in peace.

That video delves into some of my darkest nightmares...very very sobering watching it.

It's a sensitive time, but try to give flyboyike some slack- he's just saying what is going through many people's minds, albeit not worded quite as appropriate as it should be this proximate to the accident. I've personally been at the airport or nearby and seen the immediate aftermath of 3 different FDX accidents (TLH 727, and 2 MD-10s in MEM).

Please be careful out there and fly safe and smart.

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.

I have no clue why people get mad about posting what you did. Trying to figure out what the hell is wrong here is pretty important, especially if its a recurring thing with this plane. Speculation on what happened is also important to talk about, and talk about it NOW.

Looks like that left main gear just collapsed the second it hit on that final touchdown. That left wing dropped in the blink of an eye.

Crazy!!!

My condolences to the family, friends and co-workers of the crew involved.
