[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 2437982, member: 12508"] It was an MD10. FedEx got rid of the DC10s a few years ago, although an MD10 is essentially a DC10 that has been modernized into what is essentially an MD11. An airframe can last indefinitely is properly maintained. If the aircraft was on fire before landing as some witnesses say, the pilots would be in a big hurry to get it on the ground and get out. This would explain a hard landing and the collapsed gear. If it were me, I'd probably do the same. [/QUOTE]
