The MD11 and before it the DC10 were known for bouncing landings, these pictures show it very well.

It seems pretty late for any meaningful change. MD-11s are becoming rare, even though they still can be found in freighter operations.

Ethiopian 788 nose gear collapse at gate This is a strange incident on such a new aircraft ! She was delivered one year ago ! Could it be a quality issue ? EDIT : could the incident result from maintenance having forgotten to put back the nose landing gear pins (or whatever device exists on a 788) that prevent retraction ? This happened to a SQ A330 in October 2015.

When yo momma boards a plane... One thing for sure is that the 787 is being put to some heavy real world repair tests already, led by ET's misfortunes of course.

I mentioned this on another forum, the reply I got was that hydraulic lines don't explode the way gas tanks do. That makes a lot of sense, because liquids generally don't change volume under pressure. When a hydraulic reservoir ruptures, even under a lot of pressure, the liquid might spill out, even violently, but there is no explosion, because the fluid doesn't expand the way a gas does. This should have been obvious to me... somehow, it wasn't.
