F My Life: It's Funny, It's True, Except When It Happens to You
Are planes becoming safer, or are we just on an incredibly lucky streak? First, it was the emergency landing in the Hudson River, then today, a FedEx plane has crashed in Texas - and everyone seems to be OK.
As usual, first reports came in via Twitter.
Is it just me, or are we actually turning into The Borg, with a collective mind working together?
LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — Officials say a FedEx cargo plane landing at a Lubbock, Texas, airport veered off the runway, crashed and caught fire, but that both crew members walked away from the plane.
Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport director James Loomis says the ATR-42 twin-turboprop aircraft landed just after 4:30 a.m. Tuesday. He says crews extinguished the fire quickly.
The plane landed in a freezing mist, but Loomis says weather was not a factor in the incident.
The crew members were being evaluated at University Medical Center in Lubbock.
