Japanese investigation authority is tracing the cause of FX80 accident to the faulty design of MD11. Namely, no machanical fuse between main landing gear and spar.
No surprise there as it has been known for many years. Of course it's only one causal factor and unlikely to be changed so I guess we'll have to look elsewhere for a solution. I wonder what their final recommendations will look like?
