Cargo Fire in PHL

[91100 100 set]

It was probably caused by the pilot letting one of the other crewmembers fly the plane.

I noticed that too!

And lets hand it to them they landed 27R and had it stopped before taxi Lima. For those of you that don't fly out of PHL thats got to be 3500 or less. Pretty darn good for a DC-8. Good job guy's and I am glad your ok.

No kidding. It's a 9500 foot runway. TW N is about 5000 feet from threshold. High Speed Lima is about 2000' prior to that. To get that beast stopped in 3000' or so really shows their enthusiasm no to die!

This could have been a whole different kind of news story today.

Any word on the fate of the packages? CNN hasn't said anything....

 

[haulingthemail]

CNN.com has a video clip of the plane on the ground, seriously on fire.
