FYI - a UPS Airbus 300 cargo plane crashed into a zillion pieces on approach to the Birmingham, AL airport this morning.
It ditched in an empty field, leaving the aircrew (pilot & co-pilot) dead.

Although I won't use UPS to ship guns anymore, May God Rest Their Souls.

Prayers said for the deceased and their families. Having worked in the industry, I can say it is a sickening feeling when one of "ours" goes down, on a lot of different levels, and then the questions start.

Re: I Hope Nobody Here's Waiting On A UPS Shipment
Back in her high school days one of my daughters dated a young man that went on to become a pilot for UPS. Last I heard of him he was still flying with them.

Do they fly Haz-Mat packages? I am due some IMR4350 on Friday that I lucked up on.
God bless those souls on board. I know a UPS pilot (smaller plane) who has to fly in some horrendous weather to stay on schedule. I hope that was not the case here.

I believe HazMat haz to go by Ground...
Never seen a Placarded Plane, and even when I've been allowed to carry Explosives on board the Binary components were individually NOT HazMat...

Re: I Hope Nobody Here's Waiting On A UPS Shipment
On an airplane hazmat are referred to as Dangerous Goods. Lots of paperwork and rules etc. You'd be surprised what can be shipped by air (not in the belly of a pax plane - in a dedicated cargo plane).
God bless the crew's families and thank God no one on the ground was killed or injured.
