[QUOTE="oldupsman, post: 78977"] I'm in Metro Philly district so I can add a little but not much. We were read the official press release and then told to make sure we don't talk to the media. If anybody asked we were given a phone number for them to call. Everything on the aircraft was destroyed. If customers asked we were to tell them it was an incoming flight so everything we picked up yesterday got out okay. The rest of the airs couldn't get in because the airport was closed down so we had air meets about 1 this afternoon when those flights got in. Talked to my FedEx air driver about noon. His plane came in about 2 hours late too. Took them 4 hours to finally put the thing out so it sure sounds like a haz mat situation but I'm strictly guessing there. Plane was actually on fire when it touched down. Flames shooting out the side from the wing to the tail. Cockpit full of smoke. All 3 crew members jumped from the plane when it stopped and all were treated for smoke inhalation and released. Can't believe the pilots still don't have a contract. Doubt if there will be an officail annoucment of what caused the fire but I'll ask around and see if I can find out. [/QUOTE]
