The aircraft [N364FE], on a scheduled cargo flight from Oakland, California, crashed at 12:30pm local time while attempting to land on runway 36R at Memphis International Airport. For undetermined reasons, the freighter's landing gear failed, and the aircraft skidded approximately 3,000 feet, off the runway, coming to rest at a 90° angle to the runway heading. The aircraft was consumed by fire. One crewmember was hospitalized with broken bones; the other six escaped uninjured. |
