@krayzieillaskan This is the real world, not a simulator flown by a mediocre pilot.

Someone didn't get their computer.

[WisdomOfTheHeart123]

looks like rows of massive fuel storage tanks right next to the runway!!!

Imagine hitting those = big BOOM!

Only aboard "pilot and co-pilot were rescued." Can't figure out how it happened after a seemingly normal touch down.

Fed Ex planes do NOT carry passengers...So everyone on board--the two pilots--died...

[maztropuppetz]

..it was a cargo plane...so...only a few crew members would have been on board...

[letseewhathappens101]

Id say alot more than 2 people died that day. But i get what your saying

[lothar2048]

Crew is made of 4 poeples. 1 mecanician, One board Ingeneer and two pilots. This is fret transportation so no passengers in it as Fedex is a Fret company, not a passenger transportation company. But two dead is still too much ! God bless the victims...

[girlhitsbus]

Didn't something similar happen to FedEx Flight 14?

[CheckitOutYaw]

it's a Cargo Plane. Normally there's no more than 4 ppl on board a flight.

...."only 2 dead"... really man, u should have more respect on the matter. 2 human beeings died that day.
