Default MD-11 incident @ DFW

My buddy at UPS told me another one of y'all's MD-11s has been involved in an incident. Looks like a hard tail strike on landing.

How hard is it to bump the tail on this jet? I know a lot of you fly this plane on this forum.

I'd have to believe that wind may have played a factor in this incident. Around the time that I understand the incident took place the wind was gusting to 40+ kts.

UPS was having another stellar day today! The ground crew nearly ripped the nose gear right off of a 747!!! I guess some UPS aircraft where stuck because the 747 couldn't be moved after the incident.
