Though the not the full report, here is a letter from the NTSB to the FAA describing the incident, summarizing the cause and "pointing the finger".
err, I meant the FEDEX DC10 at Newburgh. Nobody I was aware of criticized the SR crew in the aftermath but one never stops learning... thanks for that letter.

Just had another look at the FEDEX report. It took exactly 19 minutes from the first alert to the ground egress command after landing. The Swissair MD80 took 12 Minutes from the initiation of the turn back to landing from FL180.

@blind pew: Of course! Thanks for jogging my memory here.

Best regards
