Here's an MD-80 that rips its tail off (http://home.comcast.net/~ripsnort60/MD_80_hard_landing_1.mpeg) on a steep approach:
-
Holy ****! Were there passengers onboard?
-
I have no story on it, sent by an Engineer, which was sent by another engineer, which was sent...well, you get the picture.
-
I didn't see any airline mentioned on the fuselage nor tail, and its suspicious that a camera would be filming a common airliner descent, so I'm guessing it was a R/C structural test of some sort.

Thats my guess to.
-
This has happened to DC-9 and variants many times. Hard landing causes fuselage failure. If it ain't Boeing, I ain't going.
-
the cabin seems to be holding-up amazingly well, concidering.
-
Yeah most of the accidents of this type have zero fatalities. As long as the landing gear stays attached and the plane stays on the runway, good times.

oh yeah, and top of the list of things not to do in a MD a/c:

I wouldnt want to be in the rear toilet when that happened...
-
my guess is that's an unreported incident from a mainland chinese carrier, possibly one that's using MD-80s produced under license.

Doesn't look like the usual test area backgrounds, and the camera is pretty crappy and closer than what you normally see. Maybe there was an engine out, doesn't the MD-80 have 'smokey' engines?

From Dinger's last link:
This air ambulance C-9A, a military variant of the DC-9, was operated by the Military Airlift Command's 375 MAW. Reportedly the plane was barrel rolled, causing the fuselage to be overstressed. The plane was damaged beyond repair
It was flown by a MAW, what do you expect? :D

Hey he got it down ok. Just broke the plane a little.

Man that was some good piloting. Work the problem....
The cockpit transcripts would be an interesting read.
-
This one always puzzled me. http://aviation-safety.net/database/1980/800819-1.htm
-
The video looks computer generated to me. (Hey, I could be wrong… wouldn’t be the first time)
Matter of fact, I’ve been working to create custom aviation accident photos and videos like this for the last 6 months. I use them for training scenarios for airport fire fighters.
-
Definitely a Kurt Tank design!

Well, from what I understood from the classroom presentation back in 1986, some dweeb was cooking food in the back of the plane and started the fire. The flightdeck crew ignored/didn't want to take orders from the cabin crew or was impaired by the products of combustion.
Toxic smoke will quickly incapacitate or kill people in fire (not heat or flame). Burning plastics create some of the most toxic gases known to man. Add in all the products of combustion in an enclosed area with lots of people...
-
Well, if you get any time in the Mideast, you run into the notion that people like to brew up with their propane-burning stoves -- this is probably a pernicious holdover from the brits. So my understanding was it was someone in the cabin brewing tea.
-
Dinger, I think your right. It was tea and not food.
-
I just always wondering what they were doing for the 6 minutes between landing and shutting off the engines. Between this and the Egypt Air kamikazes I think I will avoid middle eastern airlines.
-
Exactly. "Sort it out on the ground" doesn't mean "Sort it out when we get the jetway pulled up".
-
The L-1011 was caused by someone brewing tea. We were briefed on it when I was flying 1011's.
It's a concept pretty foreign to an American.
-
The CVR on that one is like some kind of CRM nightmare.
-
Tea is important...
... but not that important.
