Looks to me like a failure initiated on the aft side of the strut and proceeded forward around the circumference on both sides
Funny, looks to me like the failure initiated after a high side-load bounce, I am sure Captain Kangaroo did not expect this to happen, it is a shame he did not make it to the gate but a blessing all made it to the HOTEL. We will see a report, none the less I am sure a G/A would have saved the day. Pisser about the MD-11 is one wing does tend to stall hard before the other causing things like this to happen. May have mentioned it before, watching the P/F input full aileron authority during flare in windshear, I thought we scraped a motor.
