Surprised this hasn't been posted yet.



Must have landed a lot harder than it appears on the video for the aircraft to come apart like that.

Looks like the rear section lands on what is left of the front section.

Odd choice of musical background, but nice video otherwise. That's a very ugly landing indeed.

I would think it hit hard, the approach angle almost seems more down than forward to me.

The landing doesn’t look all that hard.  I wonder how often they inspect the fuselage for cracks and metal fatigue.
