Hey Jay...

I found a video for your page. It's an MD-80 falling apart after a hard
landing.

Chuck,

The video is quite old. I'm wondering how it happened to get
attention now.

It was referenced (for no particularly good reason) in the weekend Avweb.

This was on AVweb today. They said he came down at nearly 700 fpm. The
flight engineer broke his ankle.

Why was it designed to do that?
