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

3/22/2009 Latest: 2 Fedex crew members dead on jet crash. On phone with Retired AA Pilot, John Ehrlich & Captain Chuck Nash reviewing possible causes/technicalities on landing, bouncing, bursting into flames and crash amid heavy winds! HQ: http://itskylineblog.blogspot.com/200... Plane was an MD-11 and on a regular flight from China. Flight 80.
On March 23, 2009, FedEx Express Flight 80, a FedEx Express McDonnell Douglas MD-11 cargo jet on a flight from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, People's Republic of China, crash-landed at Narita International Airport in Narita, Chiba Prefecture, Japan at 6:48 a.m.The plane was landing during high winds, with gusts estimated at 40 to 50 mph. Upon hitting the ground the aircraft bounced twice on the airport's Runway A (34L). It finally flipped over and burst into flames. Firefighters were immediately dispatched to the blazing cargo plane, and the airport was closed. The fire destroyed the majority of the aircraft. The runway was closed for several hours, and as a result several international flights were cancelled, while many inbound arrivals were diverted to other airports.[2][3]

The two flight crew members, pilot Kevin Mosley, and his copilot, Anthony Stephen-Pino were both taken to a local hospital where they were pronounced dead. They were the only fatalities in the accident. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has said it is sending a team to Japan to assist with the investigation.[The crash was FedEx's first fatal accident involving a jet aircraft, as well as the first fatal accident at Narita Airport. he 4,000-meter Runway A (16R/34L) was closed for many hours, leaving the 2,180-meter Runway B (16L/34R) as the only operable runway at the airport. As a result many flights operated by larger aircraft had to be canceled or diverted to other airports.[2][3]

There were two fatalities in the accident: the two flight crew members, 54-year old Captain Kevin Mosley of Hillsboro, Oregon, U.S., and 49-year old First Officer Anthony Stephen Pino of San Antonio, Texas, U.S.,[4] were both taken to Narita Red Cross Hospital where they were pronounced dead. They were the only people on board. Japan's Aircraft and Railway Accidents Investigation Commission is currently investigating the incident. The United States' National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has said it is sending a team to Japan to assist with the investigation.[3][5][6] The crash was FedEx's first fatal accident involving a jet aircraft, as well as the first fatal accident at Narita Airport.[3][7] Built in January, 1993, the aircraft was formerly operated in passenger service by Delta Air Lines as N813DE.[8] After several years in storage at Litchfield Municipal Airport in Phoenix, Arizona,[9] it was acquired and converted to a freighter by FedEx in 2006.

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.

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

[chommy]

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

[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 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

[HeadShot360IN]

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

[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.....

@d0rkiishchris

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

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.
