Just watching the footage now and the close up of the wreckage. Judging by the way the smoke is being blown away so sharply seems to indicate strong winds.

Pilot and co-pilot now confirmed dead.

Aircraft registration is N526FE

goes without saying that the ops will be affected, its occurred on the long runway.

RIP to the two pilots :(

I guess we can take some sort of comfort in the fact that it wasn't a fully boarded Passenger flight.

Here is previous video of the A/C involved in todays accident.

Woooohhh. Thats was dramatic footage. Amazing watching a multi tonne aircraft flung over like a kite so close to landing. It is hard to believe it is possible until you see it. RIP to the aircrew and best wishes to the families.

Wow, they really pushed the nose down after the first bounce, or maybe it was the wind. After such a hard touchdown, full power may have been the better choice, but I guess you had to be there.

My last ACARS pickup of this aircraft, N526FE, in Sydney was on the 21/2/2009. Prior to that it visited in October and December last year.

Definitely an interesting landing... Wind would have definitely played a part. Interesting that the plane landed up engines up, which you could see from the clip. Will be interesting to see the report on that one

RIP to the Pilots and families..

My thoughts go out to the families of the victims - it must be terrible to see that footage.

Despite the events of the day, I think we really forget how safe air travel really is. Given the numbers of take offs and landings, and with all the factors causing accidents, it is amazing how safe air travel is.
