This exclusive airport surveillance camera footage captures the landing-gone-wrong of FedEx Express Flight 910 on October 28, 2016 at Fort Lauderdale International Airport.
The McDonnell-Douglas MD-10-10F experienced a landing gear collapse, followed by a runway skid full of fire and sparks. The two flight crew members evacuated the plane via the cockpit window and were not injured, although one of the two had a tough time getting through the window. The airplane was substantially damaged, and the cargo flight had been coming from Memphis International Airport.
Note the rather enormous explosion which takes place around 2:08, with particular attention to the huge chunk of wing that gets hurled into the air. This specific type of fuel tank explosion is of serious concern to the NTSB, as it greatly endangers rescuers as well as escaping passengers.
