Here's an additional video of the tragic crash of FedEx Flight 80 inbound to Tokyo Narita airport on March 23rd, 2009. The initial video I posted was from CNN and contained some uninformed speculation on what happened. I post this here just for purposes of clarity. I again wish my condolences to the FedEx family on this loss.
Coverage is based on Japanese news agency film and commentary.
The FedEx press release can be read here.

Do you use Twitter? This is the social networking tool that allows users to tell multiple followers exactly what they are doing at any given moment.
Frankly I see little business use for this tool, but apparently there are some. There are also some good reasons NOT to use this tool. A great friend of mine who is also an attorney, once told me that anything you write down in email or any form of written communication can be used as admissible evidence in a court of law. I can only think that Twitter now puts that rule on steroids. All electronic communications are stored somewhere for perpetuity.
Check the link out here on what happened to an Ad agency executive who shared his personal opinions on twitter prior to a meeting with FedEx. Good on the FedEx folks for their reaction to this event.

Ok, I have to give big kudos to JetBlue Airways. In the face of the AIG debacle, the stock market meltdown(s), mortgage crisis, and whatever else you want to tack on, The good folks at discount air carrier JetBlue have figured out how to market specifically to corporate CEO's. The tactics are tongue in cheek, but the videos are quite on point. check it out...

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.
