last 6G that i know & went written off on an antonov back to TOU was

AirDeccan ATR72-500, brand new
landing in Bangalore, in perfect wx

bounced twice,.
logged more than 6G's
think the exact was 6,4!
all pax made it , but also lots of people with neck injuries or other

it came to rest right of rwy
both main collapsed & nose gear ripped off
most of the 12 blades chopped off like bread
fuselage ended up looking like papper

now this can happen to anyone
the captain had more the 8,000 on the a/c
but damn, just 1 second of bad luck ( i guess.........if not he doesnt deserve to be there to begin )

fly by wire or not
those few micro seconds before a thing like that
most of the times is like a russian roulete
you could manage to save it or make it worse

but f@#$

6 g

thats a lot

any way where humans, its not auto ldg anyway
