FedEx MD-11 Catches Fire at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport

The most impressive part for me was when I ran outside and saw a 3000 foot long trail of burning jet fuel on the runway, leading to the airplane, whose entire left wing was ablaze. I've been in aviation my entire life, and I've never seen anything like it. The pilots went out the copilot's window on a rope, and they're OK. Not my usual day at work at FLL. Strong crosswind out of the northeast, and some guys I know were watching as it happened. They said it hit pretty hard on the left main first.

here's the ATC audio:

A few initial reports from BCAD here. Official ARFF response time, call to first foam was 90 seconds. Appx fuel on landing 40,000. FLL resumed south runway ops 1:10 after incident. Underwriters value of the a/c US$10.5M.

I keep up w/N306FE w/alerts as it was the DC-10 involved in the attempted hijacking of FedEx 705. Know FedEx wants to forget it; but in my heart, I hope that it's preserved in some way/fashion as a historical artifact & remembrance.

Fire rescue crews doused the plane with...smoke? What is this...Fahrenheit 451?

DC-10, not an MD-11

It's a DC-10, N370FE

Correction: Left wing, engine and landing gear

DC-10 or MD-10 not MD-11

Is there a chance, no matter how slight, we can keep these threads free from the continual slanging match from members who should know better, who just want to post here to glorify themselves with comments re what what SHOULD have happened in their opinion.
No value whatsoever in these after event "Should Haves" When in control of an ACTUAL event, it is an entirely different situation than that of some here sitting back in their armchairs at home, judging from afar!

Too bad we no longer have the Preacher to make common sense from so many of the stupid uninformed comments made on a regular basis on Flight Aware. So far no Airbus slags.

After landing, gear collapsed and started burning.
