It didn't look like he came in too hard, why the hell would the tail just fall off like that?

I believe that accident occurred during certification flights with Douglas test pilots at the controls.

Yeah - I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that that was intentional.

Imagine the look on the test pilots face when they tell him...

"OK we want you to come in to land and hit as hard as you possibly can"
"Alrighty boss... I'll do my best."

He come in to land telling him slef... Don't flare Don't flare... Chop and drop... This is gonna hurt!!!

Seen it before, and I believe it was with test pilots flying.

If the landing was hard enough to break the entire tail section off the aircraft, it must be almost strong enough to break the pilots back bone!
