Yesterday, a FedEx MD-11 crashed at Tokyo’s Narita airport on landing. There is some spectacular video of the crash from what looks like one of the airport security cameras. I will warn the readers, that this is a difficult video to watch for some.

Airplanes don’t just crash like this. It’s important to remember that the pilots flying FedEx’s MD-11’s tend to be senior, and thus more experienced. You’re going to hear about the bad landing technique, and even though I’m one to criticize bad landing technique, there’s too much unknown here to start pointing fingers at the pilots.
