[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 504619, member: 12508"] I just watched the rest of the video and saw the first clip where the MD-11 bounces off the runway and rises back into the air [I]before[/I] it ultimately flips over to the left and burns. The aircraft has no flare at all, and hits hard enough where one of the gear could have been collapsed or been severely damaged. This might be the real reason it flipped-over. The original landing approach just isn't right...the aircraft should have had much more flare. Perhaps the wind shear forced it into this awkward attitude. Whatever the reason, it's tragic, and hopefully enough information can be gathered to prevent something like this from happening again in the future. [/QUOTE]
