this crash has nowt to do with MD11 design - this a/c at FLL landed hard it seems in a crosswind and the gear went - thats it what we know so far
pilots i know say the DC10 is a delight and easy to land (not so the MD11 where you have to have your wits about you and understand the botched landing technique and escape route which is normally a GA and nothing else will save the day)
please i think the MD11 is nothing to do with this
