717 windshear event
Has anyone else heard about aircraft 717? Possible windshear in MCO resulting in a near 4g landing followed by tail strike. MX told me this morning they are awaiting word from Airbus if the airframe is salvagable.

Everyone on that plane probably should see a chiropractor if they haven't already!

Came in shortly after them. Pop up storms all around the airport. Don't know what they got on final but we were 0 losses or gains all the way down final for 35R and then got a good 10+ knot loss right in the flare. It was a firm touch down for sure.
As for 717, I heard it was a go around...

I also heard that they scrapped the tail during a go around. I haven't heard anything about a 4 g touchdown. Maybe we will see a memo soon.
