Another MD11 has bitten the dust, though luckily in this case there are no fatalities. Apparently the aircraft made a very hard landing and broke in two. Some reports suggest smoke was coming from the aircraft during the approach although these are currently unconfirmed.
Should the MD11 be grounded? The rate of such incidents is astonishing compared to other aircraft built around the same time. This may be an emotive subject as many appreciate the MD11's beauty.

What do you think? Is it time to say goodbye to this beauty?
