*edited subject line - crash happened in Memphis, not Nashville...

3. Memphis "News"
I am watching this on TV, the Memphis news sluts are really doing a great job...

This one guy is standing infront of the plane saying the crash was caused by an engine fire when (a.) the plane didn't crash. (b.) its OBVIOUSLY burning from the inside out, and (c.) it's a cargo plane, it didn't have any passangers, so there is no phone number where the family of passangers can call. BECAUSE THERE AREN'T ANY PASSANGERS!

The plane is 32 yearold ex-United Airlines DC-10, (w\ MD-10 upgrade)

7. FedEx is based in Memphis.
The plane may not have been in the air very long. Or it may have been preparing to land.
