On October 28, 2016, Federal Express Flight 910 (IATA code: FX 910; ICAO code: FDX910), a McDonnell Douglas MD-10-10F cargo jet flying from Memphis International Airport in Tennessee to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in Florida was involved in a runway skid after a landing gear collapse, which resulted in a fire completely destroying the left engine and wing. All three crew members, the only people on board, were unharmed.[2][failed verification]

Aircraft

The aircraft was a McDonnell Douglas MD-10-10F airliner, built in 1972 as a DC-10 passenger aircraft and later converted to cargo configuration. It was delivered to FedEx in August 1997 and upgraded to an MD-10 in 2003. The aircraft was powered by three General Electric CF6-6K engines, and was 44 years old at the time of the accident.[3]
