Our friends at FedEx suffered a serious loss today with the crash of an MD-11 freighter in Japan. FedEx Flight 80 was inbound to land at Narita Airport from the FedEx hub in Guangzhou, China when it apparently encountered wind shear. The CNN video below shows their coverage.
Both pilots were later confirmed as killed in the accident. The FedEx press release can be read here.

Eric,
I saw the BBC feed about an hour after the report of the crash. Just the video, no audio, no voice over. It was somewhat sickening to see the ship porpoise up after hitting the deck so hard, you knew that the crew was going to be dead.
Again, the video clip you used demonstrated how stupid the on air talent on US Television really is.
