Everybody take a deep breath and look at the picture.

This was not a wing failure. The strut broke in shear. Totally unrelated to Narita.

The MD11F is a wonderful plane - I flew it for seven years at two companies.

She lands fast and has a glass jaw. You have to disregard the "automation pyramid" that MacDac taught and hand fly enough to keep your skills. But that's what we're paid for, right?
