You know what cargo pilots love about their job that airline pilots don't...besides the HUGE payscale difference (boxes pay way more for a "seat" than a pax)
Boxes don't complain.

As an instructor I thought the crew did a pretty good job of correcting the cross wind. I think the only issue was the hard touchdown. In my opinion the FO click out the crab way too high though. I suspect he saw he was losing his cross wind correction because of this and wanted to get the wheels on the ground to correct it. As a result, insufficient flare and a hard landing on the gear.

wow

There was a crosswind but it was well within the safe limits. This accident was caused mostly by pilot error, specifically the first officer who didn't slow the plane enough for a good landing and wasn't properly lined up. The crosswind did contibute though by causing the right wing to be a bit lower which is why the right landing gear was stressed beyond its design limits.

whoa major crosswind!

Um... it was a crash and it did burn
Yeah this wasnt bad at all....Landing gear collapses are part of every airline's simulator training...Nice job by the crew to keep it on the runway
No fatalities thankfully!!
