Shocking :o I suppose the saving grace, should there be one, is that the flight was cargo and not pax.

Nasty incident.
The previously posted links only appear to show the final "landing".
The CNN footage shows the first two touchdowns as well - the edit that the BBC have shown can be quite misleading without the 5 seconds before:

Tks for that HC. It does explain a little more how the aircraft got into the state it was in on the BBC footage ;-)

True Dave, watching that reminded me a lot of the DC-10 that crashed at Sioux City 20 years ago.
