FOOTAGE OF FEDEX CARGO PLANE CRASH IN JAPAN | 2 dead at Narita Airport McDonnell Douglas MD-11

looks like they thought they were down after the 1st bounce. it sucks

”UPDATE”, the pilot and co pilot unfortunatley

didnt survive R.I.P

“go-around”

surely if there was strong winds
the safe thing to do is to close the airport till it calms down?

the wind is factor only when you see the huge crosswind at the second bounce but why the pilot go for it with the front gear? ffs the md`s are not c-130..

plane usually bounces like that if going too fast but ya the wind could be a factor as well

Difficult to land manually? You obviously don’t know what you’re talking about. I fly jets for a living and while the MD-11 may in fact have a CAT III autoland system, it is meant for low visibility situations. That airplane is in fact, easily handled manually and is routinely hand-flown in landings. Something catastrophic happened here and we won’t know what it is for probably quite some time.

exactly people died here and instead of leaving a nice comment poeple are arguing with each other who died when, and what the anchor said, that is my point. Im not laughing at what happened at all.

Wow nice way to be sarcastic and funny since this cost the life of two people.

Do you think they may have taken auto-pilot off and tried landing manually? If so that there was a big mistake. Landing a MD-11 manually is very difficult. Especially if there are some pretty extreme cross-winds. I believe (if pilots did not try this) after that first bounce they should have thrust up, and taken off again, but it clearly looks like the pilot(s) forced it down. I try and look at this in a positive way as well, at least they died doing something they loved to do.

Japan news stations always keep information till they are sure about it.

O.O holy shit

can I still track that package I shipped to
narita???
