In the two previous FedEx MD-10 gear failures one was the result of a vendor error on the gear boss plating, and the other was a higher than design load sink rate. The sink rate of these incidents was ~ 2 and 14 fps respectively



Calling an impact with the runway at 840 FPM a 'landing' is a bit of a stretch.
