WASHINGTON (Aug. 23, 2018) — The landing gear collapse on a FedEx MD-10-10F, wide-body cargo jet was caused by corrosion that led to fatigue cracking, according to an NTSB report released Thursday.

I believe that since 1996 FedEx has now had seven MD/DC-10/11 hull losses:

DC-10: SWF
MD-10: MEM (2), FLL
MD-11: EWR, SFS, NRT
