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...

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.

I can't see an upside to continuing to fly after experiencing a smoke/fire land ASAP emergency. I'll need at least a day to let the adrenaline settle. But that's just me.
