FDX1407 divert for smoke.
FedEx Plane Makes Emergency Landing In St. Louis - FOX13 News, WHBQ FOX 13
FedEx plane plane makes emergency landing in STL Glad it made pfc... Looks like it was just an indication. They'll probably tell us to ignore smoke warnings and verify you're actually on fire before you may cost PC some bonus money... |
I can't find it. Was it an email to 11 crews only maybe?
|
I saw a report on Yahoo about it. Sounds like the crew did a great job.

Nice way to spice up an AM Out & Back. Different day this month and that would have been me.
Bring your "A" game every day. . |
I read that someone was injured, I assume during the egress. Anyone have any info on that?

On a serious note: Capt continued flying, FO replaced and original FO out sick! Not sure what his injuries were but he didn't continue with the flight. :( |
Notice the slide in the video picture.
That is what the slide looked like when they egressed, or very close to it. It did not fully inflate. I understand the slide was still all wrinkly and no where nearly as pumped as the hard bouncy inflation we see during emergency equipment training. If it had been a life raft, it would not have kept the water out. FO as first out was seriously injured. |
