Fedex MD-11 Flight 80 (N526FE) Cargo Plane Crash In Tokyo Narita Int. Airport-Real Time

[menthol5]

Pilot induced oscillations are a real problem for the MD-11 because of the reduced size of the horizontal stabilizer. Add wind gusts and you get two dead pilots.

[HeadShot360IN]

OH NO, All the shit i sent to people on ebay.. so that's why tehy never got it D:

[FalconzInc]

@HeadShot360IN you sick bastard you care about your shit on ebay more than the lives of two brave pilots? may you burn in the fiery pits of hell

[rcacad]

He tryed to save the landing after a bad bounce, instead of throttling up and attempting to get airborne again. I can say that in the simulator, any bounce like this is always met with a power up on my part, regardless if im going to try and skim back down.....somthing like this may have been a delayed feel for the pitch and a seeming over correction down. Wind and airspeed may have had the plane softer than expected and coupled with the inability to get a feel for the pitch.....

[Tuffo3]

Additionally, the center engine reverse thrust cannot be used until the nose landing gear has weight on it as well.

[Tuffo3]

OK.... @Codezorz Youre right, but the MD-11 won't let you use reverse thrust until there is weight on the main landing gear. @railsimulator1995 This was not an autolanding. The autopilot was disconnected somewhere around 500 feet.

[Codezorz]

What a stupid cunt, interrupting the best part about the video. Fuckin women, learn your place. And @protocol whatever the fuck, you don't apply reverse thrust until you're on the ground you stupid fuck. Go fly a plane, reverse thrust in midair and kill yourself moron. We'd all appreciate it. Pro troll's pro.

[railsimulator1995]

this could have been as simple as a missprogramming of the autopilot. A CATIIIA is autoland, CATII is not. They probably made a mistake and the plane ran itself straight into the ground. (note the hard landing). The size of the stabalizer doesnt matter IF it was trimmed correctly for the increase in pitch, this is why the MD11 had electric trim not manual.

[4624tone]

I was readin the comments while listening, know i see what everyones sayin, fox can really fuck up the best parts of interviews thats for sure, he had me interested in his expla..........

[boeing521]

Never interrupt someone who knows what they're talking about when you don't even know what you're talking about. Seriously, she calls herself a reporter? True media self-centeredness. That guy could've given the investigators a lead and she interrupts it. Wonderful job, Fox News. Merry Christmas from Toronto....NOT!

[ToInfinity1]

i was paying really close attention to listen to the MD-11 captain but suddenly the dumb bitch interrupts the whole thing

[crapper1]

dumb fox news lady

[protocol63]

It`s hard to believe that a jet as large and heavy as the MD-11 would do this. Even in heavy winds, it should have been a normal landing. After observing the video several times, it look like the pilots came in with a lower than normal descent, the plane`s gear hit the runway hard. My conclusion..I think they didn`t FLARE soon enough ( applying the speed brakes .. those top flaps you see on top of wing that lift up to hold the plane down) and they didn`t engage reverse thrust soon enough.

[MapleSephiroth]

@protocol63 Wow, you should stop acting like a smartass. That was like a 45 knot crosswind, a huge plane would be more affected by winds than a smaller plane. Flaring doesn't mean applying speed brakes. It's when you pitch the nose up so you land gently. And YES, captain obvious, they didn't flare soon enough, which is OBVIOUSLY why they bounced. I hate when people try to make something so obvious sound so complicated.

[NutnButGuns]

High wind landing. Bounced 3 times, broke off the main gear from the hard impact and flipped. The pilot seemed to push the nose down hard to compensate for the bounce but the gear failed and that's what caused it to flip and crash.

[ryr067]

that's fox for you

[tonightwefly]

'if you were behind the wheel' what is it a ship? Mwhahahahaha

[masm60]

Wow, so many experts in aviation AND live news broadcasting! You won't find that on Facebook.

[FloridaGator369]

When he landed hard the plane bounced due to the wind creating lift as the flaps are fully extended the pilot made an error and as you can see tried putting it on the ground as soon as it bounced but instead killed himself and I didn't receive my package.

[bajesus666]

As the expert is talking, everyone in the fox studio, "huh?"

[protocol63]

Rush Limaugh asks a reporter if the pilot`s killed were Dems or Repubs..." they were Repulicans...Rush

anwers back. "CONSPIRACY !!!", THE DEMS ARE AT IT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!! 'I know this was a set up loud and clear !!!!!!!...Rush forgot to take his Methodone today

[floatpool]

@protocol63 Actually Obama said it was Bush's fault and if you look closely you can see Bush running off the airport with a detonator in his hand. Dan Rather has a source, and MSNBC is reporting a negative story about Palin just because that's the media template. I get a chill up my leg just mentioning Obama's name...Chris Matthews.

[protocol63]

@floatpool ....hmmmm....i think this whole country is screwed. as much as I love my country, I`m afraid for her.

[floatpool]

@protocol63 I wish all the politicians would quit "helping the taxpayer" they've "helped" us enough.

[captainmorgan757]

@floatpool ...ROTFL!!!!!!!!!!!

[galaxiedance]

This reporter should be fired and just stay at home and wash the dishes!

[abo944]

What a stupid cow this reporter was. Mr Nash was trying to explain to this incredibly thick woman, about the pitch authority on the aircraft in question, and she was saying "yeah ...... yeah. ....." and then goes and interupts him.

I really wish these idiot reporters would not comment on things they have no idea about!!! It makes me mad !

[Montreal1953]

You're right, at 0:36 - 0:42 there is a white thing following the cargo plane... It worthy of a Madmod investigation...

[12alltel12]

that white thing that your talking about is the wingtip

[bigmikey1979]

:36-:42 white ufo attached on back of plane creates crash and flies off.

[d0rkiishchris]

Sorry Fox news lady that you know nothing about aircraft or flying, yet for some reason you've been given the responsibility to interview two airline pilots about this crashed MD-11. But you cut him off from making a very good point, but because none of that meant anything to you, you wanna move onto someone else whos just going to blow the story out of proportion and get drama queen points. Thanks Fox News, thanks.

[FlightAttendant08876]

LOL!! Right ON!!! and i hate glen beck, that guy need some pills

[keeevan]

did you expect more from fox?

[ie210]

@d0rkiishchris

yeah, i know, i wouldn't be suprised if the media decided to say that this airplane just exploded itself, the media blows everything out of porportion, blaming people for problems even though they didn't cause the problem, causing outrage against these people who are blamed, it even got one guy killed.

[muhammaddog]

@d0rkiishchris

You are a moron. ALL news babes are morons. Including your heros at CNNABCNBCCBSMSNBC

[chommy]

@d0rkiishchris Well said, I was really interested in what he was saying until she cut off him off.

[RCDOGO22]

It's funny how these assholes try to analyze the disaster once it occurred!!! dude, train the fucking ppl to prevent these f ups..hahaha!

[solomonpilot767]

WIND SHEAR IS RESPONSIBLE 4 THIS BUT,HOW COME THEY DIDN'THAVE LEW LEVEL WIND SHEAR ALET SYSTEM?BY THE WAY fed ex PILOTS R THE BEST IN THE WORLD MOST R EX MILITARY GOD BLESS THOSE PILOTS MY HEART IS DOWN 4 THEM.

[dergrossen]

payload numbers were wrong

[mgrande11]

interrupting cunt

[biggestMetallicAfan]

That bitch, he's talking about what he thinks and she just interrupts. WindShear, and he might have made it if he had just flared, but wheels touch down then the plane's computer automatically deploys the trust reverser, so they really can't pull up with the loss of power.

[Fsxroflcopter]

That's sad, the plane didn't catch fire, until you saw a spark light the fuel on the ground!

[OnlyAndrews]

The most educational part of the whole speech and that bitch interrupts it.

[avesraggiana]

No kidding. Anything said that would cause us to have to pay attention, think, and understand is evidently not worth listening to - according to FOX News.

[deltajuliet]

Yep.

[anynamewilldo808]

@OnlyAndrews Just another reason not to watch fox notnews.

[6949paul]

I love how the at the end of the video the guy giving a good technical account of the MD11's tailplane/stabalizer characteristics is rudely cut off by the female TV presenter.

He was probably too technical and boring for today's 'hysterical' media reporting!

[infopleaseHi]

Sorry but you can't bame an airline for this one. You might not like the airline but you can't blame the crew for this one.

I flew for a contract A300 airline for other airfreight company's stateside as an FE and have only the best respect for FX. crews. I hope this crew RIP. May God Bless Them.

[KevinPMosley]

I'm still alive. I'm a different Kevin Mosley though.

[howeverclever]

What a rude bitch! I wanted to hear the piolts explaination!

[abeid9]

when did this happen

[nahohs]

MD-11 Japanese buddha christ!!!!!

[accuruneide]

my father is a retired captain, my brother is courrently copilot....I think about theyr family....God Bless them all !!!!

[CildLeftBehind]

Fox news is a piece of shit

[CE750]

I agree... so they get two pilots, none of which have flown the MD11... the 2nd guys, whos' supposed to be an expert on it says it's "Based on the MD10" when in fact it's based on the DC10.... The MD10 was a re-design that was based on the DC10 and MD11 cockpit. *sigh*

150 Out of work Gemini MD11 pilots could have been 99 times more helpful if their media room had any interest in facts and not just sensationalism.

[nmjon87]

I know!! She might as well just get a pilot that flys cessna 150's for a living. JEEZ!!

[josephayal]

another bin laden terrorist attack!!

[axchem243]

The MD-11 has the worst flight history among all aircraft....even Topolov is better than this.

[Barabek2007]

Topolev is better than you expect. The frequency of its crash is due to intensive use and simply the time.

[ASSHOLESHITBITCXH]

actually, the DC-10 is the worst. MD-11 is a DC-10 but with a modern cockpit with modern electronics, and without the " bugs "

[axchem243]

still the same shit because its elevators and radars design problems.....

[ASSHOLESHITBITCXH]

yeah, the vertical and horizontal stabalizers are too small for an aircraft of this size

[b747dude]

no? The 737-200 and DC-10 have the worst history. NOT the MD-11..

[axchem243]

Dude...MD-11 has the same stupid design as the DC-10 does. just the cockpit and size is more advanced..

[b747dude]

Lmao that is the most mediocre answer i have ever heard...The DC-10...famous for...the service issues of..

The Cargo Door.

The Hydarulic Syste.

The Engine Pylons.

The Insulation blankets.

On the other hand, there have been very few accidents with the MD-11. Why dont you go look for yourself. there havent been any problems really Concerning the MD-11. even today, the DC-10 Actually is one of the safest aircraft to fly, considering all of the major changes it went through ..

[AmericanAirlinesRule]

That doesn't mean they are unsafe aircraft. They are as safe as any other plane flying today.

[b747dude]

mm idk. of all the changed boeing made , its a pretty safe aircraft but. like you said, its not gaurenteed to be safe all the time. but its unlikely

[salehjoon]

That bitch needs to let the man talk.

[Cal3000]

Thank you thank you thank you. I wanted to know all the physics behind it, but this stupid lady interrupts

[italy430]

FOX are complete idiots. did you see the shit they were saying about Canada?

[AmericanAirlinesRule]

No they are not. Fox Rules!

[bob7399162]

American Airlines Sucks

[XxXDELTAxFOXTROTXxX]

Why do you care bob?

All you like is tits and lesbians...

[TheCHEVYNATOR]

AARule.You must be a SCAB with a name like that.Your the employee no one gets along with because you step on your fellow coworkers toes to gain brownie points with AA.YOU SUCK!!!!

[cerebraljourney]

Exactly!

Intelligent, educational, competent, and informative explanation from a professional aviator who KNOWS flight science is cut-off by a disrespectful, unappreciative, immature news-anchor who's obsessively preoccupied with emotionally-amusing and "info-taining" bratty viewers with short attention spans, rather than true, thought-provoking facts from the experts.

[cerebraljourney]

Today's American media is childish and pathetic. The days of legitimate, objective journalism have died long ago. Yes, it does take effort to use your brain and think!

End of rant! =)

[AntTv47]

when did this happen?

[sonic4ever992]

3\22\2009

[emalunan]

Horrible...in a generally headwind condition at that. It looks like MD-11s have a penchant for lying on its back... My condolences to the family and friends of the flight crew.

[tankerplt]

I'm a retired USAF research pilot and retired FedEx Aircraft Chief Engineer. No point in second guessing this, wait for the NTSB findings.

For whatever reason it appears in the video that the nose and left MLG sheared from overload. The MD-11, with its higher wing loading and smaller horizontal tail, generates less pitch authority than the DC-10 and has been involved in a significantly high number of

landing accidents, mostly tail strikes.

[xfreedomgundamx]

this is rly sad...

[vmemphis10]

did not do w and b right

[yanselito]

I'm sure those pilots did their best to keep that plane in the ground. We're talking about thousands of pounds of cargo. It's not easy to maneuver in those conditions. I'm a Fedex employee and is a sad tragedy to the FeDex Family. RIP

[fedcamo]

Well if you hit the ground really hard the auto spoiler may have locked or not retracked and at that point you are a flying rock.

[absolutsky]

RIP guys... this is really sad news for the aviation industry and most important of all for the pilots families...

[Fulcrum180690]

"NICE KAMIKAZE LANDING ROFL"...how can someone find this funny?

[hugeo8]

were the packages delivered???

[FlightSimulatorXATC]

Dang man did you just say what I thought you said? If so, our IQs are in for ein Schlagen

[hugeo8]

what does "ein schlagen" mean???

[FlightSimulatorXATC]

A beating

[allemenia]

strike, hit, impact, depends on context.

doesnt make a lot of sense in "flightsimulator"'s comment

[davechicolombia]

you're username suits you PINCHE CABRON stupid asshole.

[FlightSimulatorXATC]

Racist pig.

[Octoberpunk]

RIP

[WC3POchannel10A]

Stupid Fox Talking head would not let the pilot finish his very insightful comments. Typical!

[WC3POchannel10A]

Wow. If not wind shear, could it be PIO, pilot induced oscillation.?

[winecatt]

2 crashes in a span of 1 day? Sad, lets pray for the victims famiy.

[zstickey159]

whoa thats awful
