'ladies and gentlemen thank you for flying with MD airways today. Please take care when opening overhead luggage bins as you may find that they detached along with the tail during landing. We look forward to seeing you again soon..'

Few Cloudy or Heavy Smoky?
Are you kidding, Cloudy? Tell me more, if you want me to believe you...

The MD-80 which broke its back during testing then suffered the indignity of having the crane which was supposed to be raising it fall on the fuselage:
That aircraft was indeed repaired and delivered to Swissair. I have flown it. Registration as in the title.

You are right to be sceptical about some posts on PPRuNe. But in this case I can assure you that the hevy landing and the subsequent crane boob both happened. I was working with ****** at the time. Red faces abounded.
I cannot confirm what happened to the airframe afterwards.
(I love the stars that have arrived I'll try again M A C A I R )

Unbelieveable, the video should have been used as an advertisment for aircraft crash worthiness. Like a survival capsule. Think airbus can do that?
Have you seen the level of damage to its port wing that the DHL A300F suffered and survived? Extraordinary.
Based on the evidence shown by that aircraft, yes I think Airbus can do that!

AVweb had this
likely the source of your movie.
AVweb recently ran the movie and included the NTSB report.

Few Cloudy,
The second MD-80 to be involved in a flight test accident, at Yuma on 19-June-80, was line number 917, N1002G. This was originally scheduled to go to Swissair as HB-INB, but was damaged beyond repair. It was replaced by line number 1051, delivered as HB-INB on 17-Mar-82.

Foreign Worker you refer to JAS and state that they have had several similar incidents recently. I recall of just one JAS MD80 hard landing several years ago. The cause was inexperienced FO in control and windshear.
Having been involved in training Japanese pilots I disagree with the secrecy. The local JCAB (CAA) is tough and incidents and accidents get plenty of visibility within the industry. It is true they are not media driven like in the US.
Did you have some examples of such recent events where the public was not able to get information on the events?
