Cargo crashes

When a cargo plane crashes, it won't even make the news, maybe some small text on the ticker on the bottom of the screen.

Only time a freighter crash makes the news is if it kills people on the ground or is caught on tape and goes viral.

Urban legend has it that a few UPS pilots sitting in recurrent ground school first learned of the UPS 747 that crashed in Dubai, months after the fact. Apparently the guys were too old to check e-mail.
