MD-11 Accident in Montevideo 20 Oct 09
Looks like there's been another accident involving the MD-11. Sources appear to be in Spanish which I don't speak. Airline involved appears to be Centurion Air Cargo

Rough translation:
A cargo plane from the U.S. company Tuesday Centurion Cargo suffered a "minor accident" in the Carrasco airport, which serves to Montevideo, and his five crew were unharmed, said official sources told AFP. "It was a minor accident, which occurred at 03H00 in the morning (0500 GMT) when it landed, due to the rupture of the main wheel landing gear," said a spokesman for the Air Force (FAU), Colonel Mariano Rodrigo.
The apparatus is a company trirreactor MD11 Cargo Centurion American flag, which operates weekly in Montevideo, "Rodrigo said, adding that" the five-person crew was unharmed.
FAU spokesman said the plane is "for now in a taxiway at the airport pending determination of the cause, assess damage and see if maintenance should be done."
