LUBBOCK, Texas — Officials say a FedEx cargo plane landing at a Lubbock, Texas, airport veered off the runway, crashed and caught fire, but that both crew members walked away from the plane.
Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport director James Loomis says the ATR-42 twin-turboprop aircraft landed just after 4:30 a.m. Tuesday. He says crews extinguished the fire quickly.
The plane landed in a freezing mist, but Loomis says weather was not a factor in the incident.
The crew members were being evaluated at University Medical Center in Lubbock.

wow...three of my relatives were in a similar plane that went down off the coast of Florida six years ago...none of them were spared...including my 12 y/o cousin who would've been graduating this year.
incredibly hard to understand....yet I will trust Him.
Thanks, we'll be flying in shortly! :)
