There's some longer footage on Youtube from a Japanese tv station, looks like it landed okish but bounced and got airborne again. Now out of trim and slow airborne stalled nose first and heavy on the left leg.
Looks like the left leg collapsed before it rolled onto it's back in flames. Never seen anything like it
Both crew dead unfortunately

I saw it this morning on the Breakfast News, it's not often you get to see a crash happening. It's awful to know that you're looking at the moment that two people died

Why did the BBC footage cut out the initial touch-down?
It makes it look like it just flopped down, when it was actually bouncing and stalling from the initial touch down
Tragic either way.

Yes, it's a different accident when you see the initial bounce.
Do you think 'he' just hit too hard on the first touch-down?
Horrible crash
Thoughts to the pilots and their families.

Cos the BBC cant report anything objectively, they always have a hidden agenda, they are crap for news!

I believe, if you watch the BBC website clip, it is taken from a 'fixed' camera situated at Narita's viewing platform.
The aircraft had only just entered the far left of frame at the beginning of the clip.

A good video always grabs the news over the real tragedy doesn't it.
2 dead in a cargo plane is sad but 14 dead including 7 children is MUCH worse imo.
BBC NEWS | World | Americas | Probe launched into Montana crash
No snazzy fireball video though so it's ignored. You people make me sick sometimes.

I don't know what your agenda is Nat, but I suggest you desist: There is no law nor moral saying nobody can or cannot discuss a fatal accident.

Wow, 3 replies.
I mentioned it in the first reply on this topic too as i had seen both events unfold live last night.
Suggest i desist?
Desist what, commenting on the fact that sensationalist videos and media stories are the bread and butter of this forum (NSR) for those who are always the first to jump in and wind up to some recreational morurning while all too often the real stories and tragedies are hardly mentioned or brushed aside?
Sounds like YOU are the one with an agenda.

Rating a thread upon the mangitude and number of deaths is a very odd way of browsing a general discussion forum.
I will have an agenda if you continue with baiting like in the above quote. If you don't like what is said on this thread, or these forums, why not you move along and find somewhere else to go and vent?

I can see your point to an extent Nat, but you have hit the nail on the head. The graphic nature of the plane going down will ALWAYS grab the attention of people. A picture says a 1000 words. And for most it is far more "interesting" to see the actual accident happening.
I feel for the people in the other accident, however working for Fedex.... to me this story has more baring.

Desist from comments like the above.

You honestly don't have a clue about how to be an effective moderator. I don't mean that in a nasty way, you just don't. I don't have a clue how to wind surf so i don't do it and if i did i'd take some training. Same thing.
Jumping into a thread and telling people to shut up as soon as their view differs from the majority is not how you do it.
As soon as someone questions the norm and sticks their head above the water on here the mods jump on them in an instant. Heavens forbid there be any heartfelt discussion or strongly held feelings.
And as for asking me to leave, wtf? Get a grip, please.
Edit- I can see why though, none of the moderators on here are anywhere near to me in ability to debate and discuss in a controlled and detached from their feelings manner so i can appreciate that getting me rid is a lot easier for you.

Glad you see my point though. It's sad that the other thread only got two replies (From members who's character is not under question and are always the first to recognise and see real tragedy) and the other crash was completely ignored on this one even after i mentioned it right at the top.

I had a look for the other crash but couldn't see it on BBC and then got distracted by your contempt for those expressing their condolences on this thread, perhaps we need some guidelines for how we handle multiple Plane crashes in one day ?
You seem very contrary these days, perhaps if we are all so crass, insensitive and stupid you would be better off not reading SN and find a forum with an incumbent that better suits your sensibilities, after all it is a Subaru/Performance car related web site not the Samaritans, to be honest I think the caliber of posters on here, by and large is better than (given the sites basic purpose) it has any right to be, we may miss things, we may get things wrong, so we all apologise for our general crapness regarding plane crash related expressions of condolence.
