Hials,
Almost every (latest) accident's with the DC-10 and MD-11 were in poor weather conditions. Most of the times with windshears near or at the rwy track. Sometimes you just have to seek for your alternate. On the other hand, if that right wing didn't hit the rwy, nobody would have had this discussion right now.
(Btw, does somebody know what's is like in a full motion sim, can you really simulate this carefully?)
Edit: It looks very much the same as the MP DC-10 crash at LPFR in 1992. Also leaving the AT on with gusty winds. I thought MD and/-or Boeing changed this in manual operation off the trottle in such conditions.
