Chuck,

The video is quite old. I'm wondering how it happened to get
attention now. It got a ton of attention when it happened...I guess
we just have short memories.

It is during the testing of the DC-9-80 back in the '70s (they later
called it the MD-80 but it was DC-9-80 on the Type Certificate). It
is one of the hard landing tests. Unfortunately, the flight crew got
the descent rate a bit high at impact/touchdown and the tail broke
off...as it was designed to do. It is a test flight with the airplane
touching down outside of the flight parameters.

All the best,
Rick



Thanks Rick...

I haven't seen that one before...
