How similar to the Newark loss?

The EWR crash is sort of unique unto itself.

My hunch is it might be similar to the Mandarin Airlines MD-11 crash in Hong Kong though

I was a Paramedic in Newark for the 97 EWR crash. I remember it very well. I am out of that business now.

God Bless the crew and families.

Speechless...

A reminder of how dangerous and unforgiving the job can be. Sure hope the families are well supported, totally devastating.

I'm sure they were super guys, no such thing as a bad freight dog.

May these two pilots rest in peace and may their families somehow get through this difficult time. It could have been any one of us any day. Life is not a dress rehearsal.

Very sad day for all. Does anyone know if the CA was ex Navy? I don't want to call my buddy until I find out who it was. Thanks

Very sorry for your loss.

We who went through this last month with 3407 got lots of help from non-Colgans. I only wish we didn't need to return the favor.

Hug the family, pet the dog, and come home safe.
