LIVE: Korean MD-11F drops its **** at SYD

Just looking out my window at Sydney Airport 10 minutes ago and saw a Korean Air Cargo MD-11 fall ass first to the deck. Must have loaded the back up pretty heavy!!!!!!If anyone is near mascot in the next few hours, get to the freight terminal - its an amazing sight, attracting enormous crowds!

Kind of reminds me of the glorious Cherokee 6 (SLUG) taxying ass down on victor after the last Bathurst Is freight run for the day. <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> Similar performance to the MD11 I'm told.
