 PHILADELPHIA (AP) - A UPS plane with flames shooting from its rear cargo hold made an emergency landing early Wednesday in time for the pilot and two crew members to jump to safety on the runway.
The plane was carrying normal customer packages, UPS spokesman Mark Giuffre said. The National Transportation Safety Board was investigating the cause of the fire.
Emergency crews surrounded the DC-8 when it touched down at Philadelphia International Airport shortly after midnight on a flight from Atlanta. Firefighters had the blaze under control about four hours later, preventing it from reaching the fuel tanks.
