FedEx Flight 630 was a regular scheduled cargo flight from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport to Memphis International Airport, Memphis, Tennessee. On July 28, 2006, the McDonnell Douglas MD-10-10F operating the flight, crashed upon landing due to a landing gear failure.〔http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=20060728-0〕 The main left undercarriage collapsed 7 seconds after touchdown causing the MD-10 to roll off the runway out of control. The aircraft finally came to a stop near taxiway M4 and caught fire. The fire consumed the wing and port engine and the crash and evacuation left the 2 crew-members and the sole passenger, an off-duty crew-member, injured.〔http://avherald.com/h?article=3e5ffef3&opt=7680〕 __FORCETOC__ ==Aircraft== The aircraft involved was a McDonnell Douglas MD-10-10F registration N391FE was built in 1974 and delivered to FedEx Express on the 21st of May 1997.
