The 1st touchdown looked textbook until the nose hit and then I can't tell what happened as the plane lifted again and then Flop > Fr Wheel landed > Dumped > Bugger

The explanation for the crash by jap authorities was severe wind shear..plane bounced and flipped, then boooom!!

The jap translation for wind shear is ....I wouldnt have a f**king clue!!

They are good for oversize stuff and sooooo fast to the US, also their drop off point is close to Streeter's house!

Hell yeah aint that the truth. Then like UPS they dob you into customs and you get nailed for import duty and GST as well.

Only once, and never again...

Yes we knew you were away in Japan as we bought some more items from your store.

The guys served us (God_speed aka Matt & I) well.

Windy Take-off?

Creaking in the airport roof?

Cheers,

well in some countries they like UPS are licenced duty collectors so they do levy whatever applicable taxes on their customers. can be a nasty surprise for some people.

on a serious note it's a very sad occurrence. and a very strange looking accident. from that one piece of footage it certainly looks like either mechanical failure or wind shear. poor crew.
