Ah! Another Plane fire?…

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A FedEx cargo plane caught fire on the runway at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport Friday.

According to the FAA, the landing gear on FedEx 910, a DC-10 aircraft, collapsed as it was on the runway shortly after landing.

The plane was flying from Memphis, Tennessee.

Both pilots on the plane were able to escape, according to WPLG-TV in Miami.

Videos posted to social media show smoke and flames coming from the plane as it sat on a grassy area off the runway.

Firefighters were able to put out the fire quickly with foam.
