Was this an MD10 or MD11?
There seem to have been a few cases of them falling apart with spar/gear failures in the past......... a previous Fedex, Mandarin in HKG, and I seem to recall some discussion as to spar strength. Perhaps this heavy arrival was just unlucky enough to find a weak spot.
As always, it's a shame to see so many join the lynch mob rather than waiting for the report.
