It scares me how easily planes catch fire

Any real know it all isnt posting replys on you tube with other arm chair experts.

They caught that microburst at the worst imaginable time. May they rest in peace. God, I hate NRT!

R.I.P to the crew. fucking horrible way to die, no one should ever die like that no one!... oh apart from terrorists - but thats because they're assholes :)

@trent8002003 Many of the MD-11 accidents are a result of transition pilots who have flown the DC-10 for many years, left seating in the MD-11. Douglas did not redesign the wing of the MD-11, the aircraft has a higher landing speed with some quirky handling characterisitcs during the flair. The chief pilot for World Airways told me the hardest thing to do with the transition pilots is to have them keep their landing speeds at or above 156 kts. Otherwise the dreaded landing/flare stall occurs.

@slim471 WTF are you babbling about? Landing speed of an MD-11 is EXACTLY 11 knots faster than a DC-10 and your statment about the #2 engine is non-sensical! The FADEC is the electronic device which controls the engine and has nothing to do with flight characteristics, other than controlling the engines from the cockpit by wires. There is nothing wrong with the vertical stabilizer authoity of an MD-11 during landing. Please stow your babble until you know what you are talking about!

no wonder i didnt get my package...

The landing speed of an MD 11,is greater then that of all other airplanes.due to the smaller then normal rudder.and the fact the #2 engine=weight.on paper this aircraft could not fly.the FADAC was incorporated , to help with the flight handling of this aircraft.otherwise she's a flying brick. RIP.

This is so chilling to watch :( A whole plane..hundreds of tonnes turning over like that :( RIP
All the armchair experts are out good to see.
Rudders, FADECs, transitions and all sorts of bullshit from people whose only experience is flight sim. What happened was windshear. No airplane is immune from windshear. Windshear that close to the ground will always result in an accident. Making light of the accident or questioning the pilots experience is disrespectful to those who lost their lives doing what a lot of you wankers sit behind a computer to simulate. Either knowledge or STFU.

Definitely something wrong with the plane esp when landing in less than ideal conditions. Another MD11 crahsed in almost identical manner in Hong Kong during a storm.
