FedEx Landing Gear Collapse and Fire in Fort Lauderdale, Florida

- This exclusive airport surveillance camera footage captures the landing-gone-wrong of FedEx Express Flight 910 on October 28, 2016 at Fort Lauderdale International Airport.
The McDonnell-Douglas MD-10-10F experienced a landing gear collapse, followed by a runway skid full of fire and sparks. The two flight crew members evacuated the plane via the cockpit window and were not injured, although one of the two had a tough time getting through the window. The airplane was substantially damaged, and the cargo flight had been coming from Memphis International Airport.
Note the rather enormous explosion which takes place around 2:08, with particular attention to the huge chunk of wing that gets hurled into the air. This specific type of fuel tank explosion is of serious concern to the NTSB, as it greatly endangers rescuers as well as escaping passengers. - Наука та технологія
Between the time of incident and the time of fire out less than 2 mins!! Excellent job!!!!
1 min and 45 secs to get to the aircraft
It's literally like they all were waiting in there vehicles!
The aircraft was a McDonnell Douglas MD-10-10F airliner, built in 1972 as a DC-10 passenger aircraft and later converted to cargo configuration. It was delivered to FedEx in August 1997 and upgraded to an MD-10 in 2003 ... and was 44 years old at the time of the accident
Fast response!
Yup! A firefighter actually witnessed the landing gear collapse and fire, and initiated emergency response prior to notification from the tower.
This was FedEx flight 910
Is this the only camera that caught the accident? Thanks for posting very dramatic
Sure thing! There's one more going up tomorrow morning, alongside a 1080p HD version of this video.
Caused by hard landing maybe?
All there is about this accident on the Aviation Herald: avherald.com/h?article=49ffaff0
FedEx needs to get more bowings
i see no response for some time from the fire tenders.it was late
FAA regulations require an initial ARFF vehicle to be on scene or nearly on scene within 3 minutes of an alert. All other responding ARFF are to be on scene within 4 minutes. The responding ARFF vehicles at FLL arrived on scene and deployed suppressant well within 3 mins. An outstanding response.
Firefighters don't just sit in their trucks waiting for a call.
actually this was a very fast response
it took them just over two minutes to get water on the fire, some days i cant even piss that fast
