Well in its first week operating for Avient the MD-11 has crashed on takeoff from Shanghai Pudong . Tragically three of the crew were killed . Very sad .

Yes it was Mark . Tail strike and then it left the runway . The aircraft had been parked for 18 months previous to the delivery plus a new operator . So so so sad .
