Awful. Absolutely awful. Rest in Peace, brothers.
As an aside, I landed in DXB a week ago, and noticed the temp at about 1500 local was 47 C while on final. I wondered if I really had enough safety margin to go-around if I needed to. Very, very hot & humid there. A huge challenge if something goes wrong.

I just raised a glass to our fallen brethren at Brown who died in the line of duty today. My sincere condolences and prayers to their families, friends and to the folks at UPS who are at this moment, still in shock and grieving from this catastrophe. Fair winds and following seas guys.

Not much I can add to the eloquent words of some of the postings here today. How sad when any of our brothers and sisters in the cockpit fight the good fight and lose.
If the news accounts of the crew reporting fire in the cockpit turn out to be true, it will add to the already too long list of similar tragedies. Of all of the problems that can confront us in the cockpit, fire is the one that is probably the most time critical, and most difficult to deal with successfully.
The UPS crew and families are in our prayers.

I only knew the FO on this flight. I did not know the CA. Out of respect for them and their families I am sorry, but I cannot release their names. The info will soon be public once everyone that needs to be notified has been.
My condolences go out to the UPS family as well.

Turbodog, I don't know how you got your information on who the crew is. This is frustrating for all of us. I await the news to see who my fallen brethren are. Thanks.
Rest in Peace fellas

Ladies and Gentlemen....I want you to know that I just walked up to my wife, and un-announced, kissed her.
"Just wanted you to know I love you"
I did that in memory of the two people who died in this accident. I didn't tell her about it.
