AL TAYARA,
I don't agree with Fuel 100's rant either but you cannot claim this is MK's first real accident. Bent airframes with casualties or fatalities are accidents, real ones!

Yes, I know all about Africa, particularly Nigeria but MK are not the only freighters flying from Europe to Africa. Yes, there are accidents related to operations in Africa but 3!!! in a relatively small fleet such as MK's, I've heard of bad luck but this is taking the biscuit.

You cite a landing on a closed runway, none of MK's accidents were due to this, many African accidents are from the 'one hit wonder' airlines operating a ropey B707 or similar, MK should be better than this, unfortunately they are somewhat lacking.
