Finnair recently bought a used MD11 from Varig. After reading a story about that plane this photo doesn´t surprise me so much.

Another fine example of why the throes of bankruptcy are so nasty. Maintenance? Right.

Yeah! Rather the central gear than an engine. How was it lost? T.B.

The central gear was lost after touchdown in runway 11R/29L from SBBR. The belly suffered great damages, but no passenger was wounded.
Currently the aircraft was stored in gate 14 at SBBR, awaiting repairs.
